Unable to access folder after partition merge

D

Dynne

I recently merged two partitions together using PartitionMagic and for the 2nd partition it moved all the data that was on it into a folder onto my 1st partition like I wanted it to. Except now I can't access the folder at all and windows says the folder contains nothing at all(there was at least 30 gigs of stuff in there). Am I screwed or is there a way to recover this data?
 
I use Partition Magic a lot on computers, but normally I move the files in Explorer first, actually I didn't know that PM could do this for me. Mind you, from your post I'm glad I always moved files first.

Anyway, you say that "now I can't access the folder at all" can you access the folder in Safe mode ? What actually happens when you do try to open the folder ?
 
Ah I just fixed the problem thanks to this forums nifty little similar thread feature. I was in such a panic to getting my files back that I forgot to even search the forums before posting. Turns out a few users have had this problem before.

I just had to right click the folder, go to properties, then go to the sharing tab and just check "Share this folder on the Network" and everything worked. woot!
