I transferred data from my laptop to a Windows 10 PC using a USB to SATA converter. The process worked smoothly during transfer, but after removing and reinserting the drive, the files disappeared even after formatting the drive. It’s unclear why this happens—could be related to file system corruption or improper transfer settings.
It seems there might be a mistake. Files typically don’t just vanish unless something went wrong. Verify the complete original location you saved them to. If you still can’t locate them, consider using any available virus protection services.
The entire process was empty. My flash drive, which I’m not too rich for, is only managing about 1 gig of data in Windows and a bit more than 3 in Linux. The hard drive was intriguing—Linux told me it was read-only, but Windows copied it but it vanished. A reboot revealed something occupying space. Eventually, I enabled view system protected files, then discovered my files inside $RECYCLE.BIN. Why did this happen?
I adjusted the settings to protect view system files and it was located in the $RECYCLE.BIN directory. Why is that? My flash drive seems to be acting oddly—copying halts and errors appear for files over 2GB, especially after 1.5GB. However, when I try it on Debian, it manages files larger than 3GB. The files are stored in the system volume information folder? What’s happening? I suspect my flash drive might be failing, but I’ve never seen anything like this before.
