70 Gb of Data and files are missing but it shows occupied space in hard disk

Hi Guyz :slight_smile:

I have 160Gb buffalo portable hard drive. I have my music collection, data, 40 gb pics stored in there. I was using it normally from so many days. Yesterday when i plugged into my laptop, suddenly some popup’s alert shown on the screen sayig that some virus affetcted files are there, apparently i don’t know what happened all my folders are gone but space is avialble in my hardisk but i can’t open them. I even tried with the other laptop, restarted the pc and now the external hard drive appears to have the information inside (no loss of Gb of info) but I can not see or find the My Music Folder that has my files. The files are still there, because they take up the space on the hard drive, but I can’t find a way to access them. They are not in hidden folders either.Is there anyway to recover them?
Could any one please help me to resolve my issue ?
