Hello,

I just lost a stealth disk and I had about 6.5 gigs on it :(

Now I want to see my hidden files and I can't :blink:

I don't know if a tweaking program is preventing me to see these files :angry:

Need help please

36 views and no reply ???

come on guys

You haven't mentioned what kind of program you used to "hide" the files...
If you are using XP, you can restore your system to an earlier date, before you hid the files and see if that works...

I just want to see the "hidden files" all hidden files ;)

Not only the files that I have hidden but all the files.

When I choose to see hidden files in the option folder, It take a couple of second to close the window but the "settings are changing back to not show the hidden files"

Bads

Strange prob you have there,I just tryed it here and all worked

First HAve you any tweak prog installed that have locked you to change the hidden files?

It can be that prob if you have one installed.. Like tweakxp there if i remeber right you have an opsiosn to change hidden fils

can you untick Hide protected operating system files???



PittPull

I seem to remember what PittPull says seems correct, but are you logged on with "Admin" rights?
Try creating another account and giving it admin rights and see if you can go in and change things from the new account.
Just a suggestion

I just open a CMD boxe with the switch "/A H" and I can see my hidden files :blink:

Now is this a way to make them permanently visible ?

C:\>attrib C:\boot.ini +S
Not resetting hidden file - C:\boot.ini

Not working too :(

try this:

attrib c:\boot.ini +s -h

Thanks Sephiroth  ;)

This is working for this file  ;)

Will this file viewable after a reboot ?

Because when I try to fusion 2 partitions using partition magic, I receive this message :"cannot read the sequential file"  "System 32 compressed or dammaged" 

it should be viewable after a reboot, as for partition magic, try running chkdsk on the partitions, and surface scan them too for errors

Running chkdsk /f ?

I do that about 10 times

do you have ntfs file compression enabled for either of the partitions?  try right clicking on the partitions in my computer, properties, and untick compress drive to save space

They are not compressed.......... :(

As far as I know if you log with Administrator privileges this should not be a problem...Is this a workstation at the office or is thi your personal PC?

This is my personal PC&nbsp; ;) And if I log as administrator, I have the same problems&nbsp; :angry:

I'm still not clear what programme you used to "create" your stealth disk in the first place. Seems to me that's where the answer lies - "unstealthing" your hidden stuff. Doubt it's an XP problem.

g-string.

Agreed, it would help tremendously if you could let us know wat program you used to hide the drive.

Ok,

Forgot the first message* ;) Now I want to see my hidden files and system files Because when I try to fusion 2 partitions using partition magic, I receive this message :"cannot read the sequential file"* "System 32 compressed or dammaged"*

I just buy a 120 gigs and I want to make just one partition with my other 60 gigs* ;)

I have recover my files lost files who was hiddenn by STEALTH DISK

Now all I want is just to see the "hidden and system files in windows "

Thanks for your help all

With the program "My Powerdesk" I can see all the hidden and system files&nbsp; ;)

but I can't change their attribute because "they are in use by anothe program" ?

you wouldnt be able to do anything with the file if it is in use by another program.. if no other programs are opened that might be using it, you may still get that message if the view setting is set to preview.&nbsp; what you can also do is get to dos and use the attrib command to change the attributed. Just my input.. g/luck B)

Bump for a good reason

Bump back at you :D

Is the situation still the same as it was last year ?
And if so, look at my post just above, and reply :)

My problem is fixed for a long time now BC ;)

If I bump this post this is for remeber when it is for helping another member here in the same situation :lol:
