Folder disappeared! HELP!!!

[felixgutten]

I was trying to take images from my camera to my external hard drive, so i used my win8 laptop(Beacause it has SD-reader) and marked all images, then right clicked and then hit cut. Then i pasted it in a folder on my external harddrive(seagate backup+). THen i unplugged, and connected harddrive to win7 alienware. When i then clicked the folder with the pictures the folder disappeared. I have tried this: Enabling hidden files, Searched for it, checked the SD and tried NTFS Undelete.... I am now trying Recuva deep scan. HELP ME!

Most likely since you used cut + paste you didnt wait long enough for all the pics to copy...
Try it again...use Win Explorer this time.

And this time use MOVE or COPY rather than cut & paste

I did cut using windows explorer and i waited until process finished 100%! And i cant try again because i used CUT and that means it deletes the files from where they were when it`s finished!

It won't help you now but for future reference you should always copy the file to the new location and then delete it from the original place once you have properly confirmed that the files are in the new location.  Cutting is very easy to mess up.

Why do it this way ?
Any important files should always be verified as intact in any copy move operation...
As Cameron alluded to above.

You could try to run Recuva and see if it'll get any files back...
