Re: [XP Pro] Viewing hidden items on an external drive
Hi there, maybe you can help me too? i stored stuff on my external harddrive, then deleted them. Now i need some of them again. Short of running Recover my Files, is there any way to access the recycle bin on the external harddrive? Is there such a thing?
I sure hope you can help. |

| If you did not bypass the recycle bin when you deleted those files. They should be in the recycled bin. Each partition has its own "sub recycle bin", the recycler folder, all sub recycle bins form the main recycle bin on the desktop.
The info will be in this x:\recycler\s-1-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-1003\info2 file.
Just hook up the external HD to any system, the deleted files should show up under main recycle bin.

| Hi Chi
Where do i put that address in? I am trying to read from my E: Drive to see the recycle bin. My normal recycle bin isnt showing the files in there.
Are you saying that when i delete off my hardrive it goes to my computers recycle bin? Does the external not have one of its own?
Forgive me my ignorance.
p.s. and also my total stupidity for getting myself into this in the first place.
