Recover Unhide Files in Virus Infected Pendrive Using Command Prompt: Windows XP
Suppose you use a pen-drive/ Flash-drive which is infected by virus. Now a common problem is that we can see that if we have multiple folders or single in pen-drive, its just deleted. Is Virus delete the folder ?? The Ans is : NO. In my experience i see that: Maximum time virus just hidden the folder so that we cant see the folders. Now a common question that : How can i retrieve or recover the folder in normal mode ?

Solution:
Suppose your pen-drive name is pendrive, and its has several folders. But when you put on your computer is just blank , but if you see the properties of that drive then you can see that its use some storage. It means that most probably they are in the pen-drive. Ok, we can see a snapshot . 1. My USB drive name is pen-drive. It has 5 folders named:

available jobs computer fundamental ebooks from wiki education medical report

2. But if it is virus infected and if the virus just make it hidden then its show nothing in the drive, but it takes some storage.

3. How can we see the hidden folders ? Go to : Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> Check the button: Show hidden files and folders and also UN-Check the button: Hide Protected Operating System files (Recommended)

Then if we can open the pen-drive, then we can see the hidden folders of the pendrive.

4. Now how can we make it normal (unhidden) ? Actually i use windows command prompt to recover the files. Go To: Start -> Run -> type cmd-> press Enter Go to the pendrive directory by the command prompt: like my pendrive is in the I:/ directory. So just type I: in the command prompt. then if you type dir - command then its show nothing because all of the folders are hidden. now simply type : attrib -s -h /s /d *.* [N.B: -s , -h , /s, /d , *.* all of them are seperated by space] This command automatically unhide all of the folders.

You can see all of the folders in your pen-drive. Now type dir and its show that all of the files are alive.

You can un-hide indivisual folder by command: attrib -s -h -r folder name for my pendrive folders:

I:\>attrib -s -h -r available jobs I:\>attrib -s -h -r education

here this is very important news for all that : if we have space on the folders name then we must use of the folders name , otherwise we can just the foler name.
