The other day whilst backing up my computer to my portable hard drive, my flatmate disconnected my hard drive accidentally, without 'safely removing' the portable hdd - not sure if it was still processing files or nt doing much - without really worried about whether or nt theres a problem.
Now when I connect my poratble hard drive to my computer, it loads up normally with the window poping up asking wat action i want to do i.e. open with this or open with window, but when i open it, only approx half of the original files appear - 5 folders of about 11 appears.
And when i check the size of these 5 files, which is approx 200gb, while the usage is about 450gb out of the 500gb total, theres around 200gb of stuff i cannot access for some reason.
when i load it on another computer, similar stuff appear, with the addition of some random name and code folders and some 'system files' which cannot do anything about, all with random codec or language which cannot be read.
Does anyone know what the problem could be and what could i do to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
