Use A43 File Manager. This is a replacement for Explorer.
Your files are still there, probably hidden by malware infection
at the CMD prompt type these
E:
CD /
ATTRIB -S -H /S /D

The command written by you is not working as it is....... and if i enter ATTRIB S /H /S /D this command then it shows invalid path...
i have checked my disk and also tried A4. A4 is not showing data and chdsk is ok.....

Maybe try booting the computer using one of those Linux live CD and see if the data can be accessed? If so, then backup whatever is important from drive E to another HDD, then proceed w/ troubleshooting. I have wiped a HDD in the past by mistake while troubleshooting, but that was after everything was backed up. Nothing was lost, other than time. Just a thought.
k i will try this thing as a last option bcoz LINUX is not user friendly so it takes lot of time and sometimes u lost every thing... for that backup is important.....

Knoppix is a fairly simple and safe Live CD Linux variant you can use. See [post=766270]How to recover your folders/files when Windows won’t boot[/post]. See section 2 for creating the Knoppix CD
Also try Explorer XP.

> I believe it shows hidden files as well (as an experiment, i just created a file and set its "hidden" attribute - but i could see it with Explorer XP)
