After cleaning the STOREJET 640GB by DoctorWeb, I can see only the separate files on it(which were out of folders).All folders are invisible on any PC.But when I connect it to TV I can see and open any...

Hello that means that your files properties are hidden in your PC. If your operating system is windows 7 you can change it by Clicking START, Control Panel and chose View by Category. Click appearance and personalization and click "show hidden files or folders", located under the "folder option" section. Choose the radio button that corresponds the "SHOW hidden Files, Folders and Drives" option. Uncheck the boxes that correspond to "Hidden protected operating system files". Then save the changes by clicking apply and OK.
If your operating system is Windows XP you change it by clicking My computer then double click the hard drive you want to open then click the view then chose show hidden files and folders.
Keep on touch best regards..

About folder option

Click on Start - Run and then type:
Regedit
then go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\NOHIDDE N.
There should be two registry entries there:

- CheckedValue : Type: DWORD Value: 2
- DefaultValue : Type: DWORD Value: 2

(Correct them if necessary.)

Now open the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL .

- CheckedValue : Type: DWORD Value: 1
- DefaultValue : Type: DWORD Value: 2

(Correct them if necessary.)

If the problem persists, open Start, Run, type "regsvr32 /i shell32.dll" and
click OK.
reboot the computer.
thats it, have fun :)
