Hello, everyone.
I recently had a computer technician install a master drive from my old computer into my new computer, making it a slave drive. I did this in hopes of accessing all the files stored on this drive. From what the technician said, I was given the impression that everything stored in this drive will all be accessible once it is made a slave drive in my new computer. However, after the drive was installed, I was unable to find anything--music, pictures, etc. I tried both searching for them by name, and manually looking for them in the E drive. Yet, strangely, the properties window still reports the same storage capacity as before! Then, I highlighted everything visible in the E drive, and viewed their collective storage number, and came out a little over 2GB's, which aught to be right, but the main properties window still reports a usage of 14GB's, which can only be if everything from before is still there.
I am hoping that this is a conclusive sign that everything is still there, just hidden somehow. Can someone please clarify this situation?
Thank you.
