Can't find files on hard drive

[padrone99]

I have a laptop hard drive that crashed and I purchased an external case to plug it in to my desktop so I can pull the files off.  When I connected the external w/hard drive it shows that only 30gb are available of 111gb.  I tried looking into every folder to find my files and I can't locate them.  I also clicked to "show hidden files" and still nothing.  Can someone please help me find my files?  Thanks.

You say your drive crashed and you have used up space that you can't find, sounds like file system errors to me. You can use third party software to attempt to recover files in this type of situation. I recommend getdataback for NTFS.
