Hello,

If you did not format your flash drive, then check whether the files are not in

hidden mode.

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

Here I assume your pendrive as G:

Enter this command.

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

Note : Replace the letter g with your flash drive letter.

Now check for your files in Pen Drive.

After that, download the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from the below link

http://en.kioskea.net/download/download-105-malwarebytes-anti-malware

Update it --> Perform "Full Scan"

Note : Default selected option is "Quick Scan".

Good Luck.

Hello,
Try this 1.
The command is attrib[] -h[] -r[] -s[] /s[] /d[] g:\*.*
Note: [] => space.
Click on Start --> In search box, type cmd --> now you can find the cmd option in the search window -> right-click on it and select run as administrator.
Now enter the above command.
If there is any error message displayed let me know about it.
Alternate way is, click on the below link and follow the instructions
http://en.kioskea.net/faq/9456-windows-7-show-hidden-files-and-folders
Also uncheck the Hide protected files of the operating system option.
Good Luck.
