My USB showing all files as shortcut and i can not view my files, what to do

OK you harddrive is infected with Malware. This Malware creats shortcuts of each folder and Hide the all those your main folder.
You can scan your Hardrive with fully updated Anti Virus apllication .

To see all your original folder you can enable your Shown hidden File option from your Folder option--View--uncheck show hidden files and folder--and uncheck hide protected operating system files.

Here is the step to unhide your all files and folder in one go.
Step 1:

Click on the below link and download the file "AutorunExterminator"

http://en.kioskea.net/download/download-11613-autorun-exterminator

Extract it --> Double-click on "AutorunExterminator" --> Plug your Hard drive now.

This will remove the autorun.inf files from your flash drive and also from drives.

Step 2:

Click on "Start" -->Run --> type cmd and click on OK.

Here I assume your flash drive letter as G:

Enter this command.

attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.*

You can copy the above command --> Right-click in the Command Prompt and

paste it.

Note : Don't forget to replace the letter g with your flash drive letter.

Now press "Enter".


this should solve your problem.

Do you think my problem is a cable wear or the device itself
and how can get access to my data

can anyone hepl me
please

I believe some virus caught your computer. If you can't find you're files try this.
-Go to that hard disk.
-In the menu bar look for tools.
-Folder option
-In the folder option window click view
-look for hidden files and folders
-In the 2 radio buttons click show hidden files and folders
-click apply.
If this is correct there is a way to remove those hidden things.
-Select the file or folder you wish to not hide.
-right click and look for properties
-unchecked hidden files and apply

hope this helps. Thank you for using Fixya!

This is going to be hard to hear, but those are just shortcuts, not the files themselves. Which simply means that if the shortcut no longer has a valid file to point to, those files are not and never actually were on the drive. I see this alot where I work as people do not understand how to actually copy their files for backups. Clicking and dragging often produces this result. In most cases if the original files are gone, then there is no way to retrieve them.

Is this the Problem???

Maybe from the time you copied your files you created a shortcut. That is why it has a short cut arrows.
Just go to the root directory of your files. Then copy it. Then paste it into your external HDD.

try to copy the file on the hard drive and then open it and make sure the file u are mentioning is not a shortcut sometimes we even send a shortcut into the usb drive instead of the real file by mistake so check it

Plug you camera into USB. Go to My Computer and find a drive device named External Drive or USB Storage etc. Click on this and you should see a folder named DCIM (digital camera EXIF standard Digital Camera IMage folder. This is your cameras memory card.

Click on this and find a subfolder(s) named according to manufacture. For Panasonic it would be 100_PANA or maybe 101_PANA. These are you picture folders. Click on one to find pictures. Drag and Drop folder to computer to download them.
