Soooo... Every time I connected a flash drive, external drive, or memory card, my computer turned the folders into shortcut files. I know how to turn them back into folders but it keeps on going back. I scanned my computer with malware bytes, spyware doctor, emisoft, avast!, and immunet and I have no viruses. Then I connected my Seagate 500gb external HDD to my computer. I went to my computer and the HDD was not listed. I went to the device manager and there it was... I read that I can use testdisk to fix this problem from the following link...
Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - Have you "lost" a hard drive, partition or files in your computer? I got to step B and it said "Disk capacity must be correctly detected for a successful recovery.
If a disk listed above has incorrect size, check HD jumper settings, BIOS
detection, and install the latest OS patches and disk drivers".. The seagate disk said 2199GB, when it is actually 500. So this is where I am stuck.. I am not very advanced with this stuff. I have no Idea what a jumper settings is. I have irreplaceable files stored on this drive that I cannot afford to lose. Any help would be greatly appreciate.:smile:
