I have an old hard drive that shows content in Properties but when you explore it there are no files. How do you rescue the data on the drive? |

All Microsoft systems in play here....? Do you know what format was used to originally format the drive? If it's old, it is probably FAT16 or FAT32 |

Properties shows data. Bootice shows no drive letter, Bootice freezes when trying to assign drive letter, and Bootice shows 1.44MB size. |

I would plug it into by linux (ubuntu) systems and see what I could see. Then I would google disk recovery tools for ubuntu. I assume you have done that for windows. |

I though it was a partition issue, so I was looking for something that would un-partition it. I didn't find one that was free and allowed me to recover everything (and not just a little bit). I searched for recovery, and found a list of a dozen of free ones. I used the second or third one (Puran) and that did the trick. Another day, I will try to format the drive. |
