The answer to this question is simple, if you are using windows.  all you have to do is open "My Computer", go to the address bar, open the drop-down menu, and select desktop.  then all you have to do is go to the "Tools" menu and select "Folder options".  Then go to the Veiw tab in the window that should pop-up, and you then should see the "Hidden Files and Folders" option.  Select the "Show Hidden Files and Folders" option and you're done.  That's how you view those files.

By any chance did you make your folder private before reinstalling Windows?  I did the same thing and it took me awhile to figure out how to access the data.\n\nYou need to use Windows backup to backup the data and then you can restore it.  At one point, you will have the option to only back up the data or to back up the data and the security.  Only back up the data and then after restoring it, you will be able to access your files.\n\nIf you have XP Pro, then this utility is already installed.  If you have XP home, then you need to install it from the CD.  See the article below for full details on installing and using this utility.\n\nGood luck!

if you use Windows\nInsert your cd to cdrom drive, then go to explorer you can choose your cdrom drive to see the contents. If you cannot see anything maybe your files are hidden. Goto Tools -> Folder Option -> View tab. Choose Show hidden files and folders. Now something should show.\nIf you still can't see anything, you need to check your CDROM or your cd.

Are you running windows xp?  Folder Options should be visible in control panel by default.  However if its not, go to the explorer menu, click Tools >>>Folder Options>>>and click Restore Defaults in the General and View Tab.

When a folder or file is put onto your computer, it has the value of either being hidden, read-only, or viewable. The folders you are talking about are probably just hidden folders. To be able to see these, simply click the Tools drop down menu when you have a n explorer window open. Then click Folder Options. Once your window is up, click on the View tab. In the open space below, there are multiple check boxes and choice circles. If you look closely, it has the choice of showing hidden files and folders, or showing them. You can click the choice that shows them. I hope this helps.

Try using the software magic folder.\n\nMagic Folder Now is an easy to use program that allows you to hide folder or quick jump your folders.You can keep your personal data away from others. Others will not know where your personal files exist.It is protected by a password that you can change or remove at any time. \n\nMagic Folder Now obviously will prove itself to be the fastest way to access your data without ever needing to remember long paths.You can access your folders in the Windows Explorer,in standard Open/Save As/Browse dialog boxes or the desktop or the Start button instantly.All you need to do is to right-click on your Explorer or dialogs and the Favorite Folder option is displayed. You can add all the folders you need to access to this list and they are available to you instantly. \n\nIt runs automatically as part of the context menu, so you will never need to start the program otherwise you want to hide folders.

To access this drive, you will need to change some settings. BY default, in Windows XP, the security tab for a file system is hidden. You will need to unhide it through Explorer>>Tools>>Options>>View. Uncheck "Use simple file sharing(recommended)"\nNow, right click on the inacessible drive and select properties. Select the security tab. Click advanced.  Click on owner. the rest should be clear.
