Maybe you can get at it from the command line, and at least copy your files out of it.

Damn, cd is a Unix command...I mean dir, not cd. wait so for step two I type in command prompt.. "G:\Files\Videos\Movies"... cause Movies is the folder that turned into a file... when i did that it says "G:\files\videos\movies" is not recognized as an internal or an external command, operable program, or barth file. |

You know what's even weirder: if the *folder* held movies in it before...it's now only 32 KB....that is INCREDIBLY small for a file that holds movies...Weird
I know that if you have a file that has no end tag like .mov or .jpeg in the name then it doesn't know how to open it, so maybe if you rename it? Or something....but I don't think you'd put a tag on it because it's supposed to be a folder. Gahh you can always try renaming it. But yeah they are also right--either try to get your files out of it or it might be corrupt. |
