I have an external data device with many important files on it (about 500 GB). When I try to show the files on my PC, it shows that the capacity is actually taken (500GB), but I see no files in it. Happily, if I connect the device by USB to my TV screen, it shows all the directories and files. I've been thoroughly searching for help online. Perhaps I need to download a driver? Perhaps there are some encoding problems (FAT/whatever I don't really know a thing about it).
How can I access my files on my drive?
