CMD to unhide files

[axipher]

Hey, I'm new here so here's my first problem.  I have a portable disk drive and I hid some of the folders along with the subfolders, etc.  Now I'm at school and in need of unhiding the files but Folder Options and Control Panel is disabled.  Now my question is can CMD be used to unhide the files?

C:\Attrib /?
Displays or changes file attributes.

ATTRIB [+R | -R] [+A | -A ] [+S | -S] [+H | -H] [drive:][path][filename]
       [/S [/D]]

  +   Sets an attribute.
  -   Clears an attribute.
  R   Read-only file attribute.
  A   Archive file attribute.
  S   System file attribute.
  H   Hidden file attribute.
  [drive:][path][filename]
      Specifies a file or files for attrib to process.
  /S  Processes matching files in the current folder
      and all subfolders.
  /D  Processes folders as well.
