How To Unhide Hidden Folders & Files from USB Drive/Memory Card After Virus Infection

It is a common case that folders and files of computers, memory cards and flash drives are hidden and only shortcuts are visible after virus infection. In some cases, even shortcuts are not visible. USB Drive/Memory Card/Partition of the Hard Disk look empty but if you check the size of disk you will see some space of the disk is used. It means there are something in the USB Drive/Memory Card/Hard Disk partition but all of them are in the hidden state.

You don't have to be panic. There is a solution to retrieve (unhide) all files back. Here below are some steps. Just follow them carefully and enjoy once your files are back!!

1. Scan your computer's hard disk/pen drive/memory card with Antivirus software. If Antivirus software is not installed on your computer, get one and install on your computer. You can use free version of "Avast", "Kaspersky", "Avira" etc. and cleaned the infection from your infected media type (hard disk/USB drive/memory card etc.).
2. Insert your media type into your computer. Open Computer/My Computer and NOTE down the Drive Letter of your media. For example F: in my case.
3. Open "Command Prompt" as an Administrator.
   
   For Windows 7/8: Go to START menu, SEARCH box, and type "CMD" in the search box, command prompt will appear. Select Command Prompt and Click right mouse and select "Run as an administrator".
   
   For Windows XP, go to START Menu, PROGRAMS, ACCESSORIES, and select Command Prompt. Click right mouse and select "Run as an administrator".
4. Then type this command:
   attrib -s -h -r F:\*.* /s /d (replace F:\ with the drive letter you've noted earlier)
5. Confirm that typed command is correct. If correct, hit ENTER button. Wait until the process completes. That's all, you are done!! Check your media and enjoy your files & folders back!!

Thank you.

पेनड्राईभ/मेमोरी कार्डका hidden folders र समाधान

देवराज भाईको कम्प्युटर भाईरसले ग्रस्त भएको रहेछ। कम्प्युटर फरम्याट गरेर नयाँ अपरेटिङ सिस्टम र नि:शुल्क भर्सनको अ-भास्ट एन्टिभाईरस ईन्सटल गरि दिएँ। देवराज भाईले डेटा व्याकअप गरेर पेनड्राईभमा राखेको रहेछ। त्यसैले उक्त पेनड्राईभमा भएको डेटा भाईको कम्प्युटरमा कपि गर्नु अघि पेनड्राईभमा भएको भाईरस ईन्फेक्शनलाई हटाउनु जरुरी थियो नत्र कम्प्युटर पुन: संक्रमित हुने संभावना धेरै थियो।

मेरो ल्यापटपमा भएको कास्पर्स्-काई एन्टिभाईरस सफ्टवेयरले उक्त पेनड्राईभलाई स्क्यान गरेर त्याहाँ भएका सम्पुर्ण भाईरसलाई हटाएँ। तर, एउटा जटिल समस्या देखियो। पेनड्राईभमा भएका कुनै पनि फोल्डरहरु त्याहाँ थिएनन्। मलाई लाग्यो सबै फोल्डरहरु डिलिट भएछन्। अब परेन फसाद??

विन्डोज भिस्टालाई कसरी एक्सपी मा परिबर्तन गर्ने - How to Downgrade Windows Vista to XP

मेरो ल्यापटपमा भएको विन्डोज भिस्टा अपरेटिङ सिस्टमले सार्है हैरान बनायो। मेरा पुराना प्रोग्रामहरु खालि एक्सपी संग मात्र कम्प्याटिबल भएकोले सो भिस्टालाई एक्सपीमा परिबर्तन गर्ने बिचार गरें। तर, डिस्क फर्म्याटिङ गर्नै सकिनँ। त्यसैले गुगल मा खोज्दा निम्न लेख उपलब्ध भयो। मैले यसलाई प्रयोग गरिसकेको त छैनँ तर पनि यसले काम गर्ला जस्तो मलाई लागेर यहाँ राखेको हुँ। यसलाई प्रयोग गर्दा यदि कुनै बिशेष नोट थप्नु परेमा म उपलब्ध गराउने छु।

Windows Vista sucks? Or simply don't like Vista? If you're thinking to downgrade your Vista system to run on Windows XP, it's not as easy as you think. There is no direct path to downgrade Vista to XP. You can't simply insert the XP installation CD media into the CD-ROM drive and hope to 'upgrade' and replace the Vista with Windows XP usual install routine because Vista won't allow it to be overwritten. XP will treat Vista as 'superior' operating system and refuse to install over it.

There're actually few options available instead of completely uninstall Vista as listed below. But if you decide to downgrade from Vista to install XP, there is also a simple guideline that you can observe to ensure that the migration goes smoothly.
