I am running ubuntu 12.04. My problem: In a ntfs formatted disk I have created one folder and stored some files. Now it is showing nothing in that drive. But if I check the size of the disk there is still some space used. How can I get into that folder now. enter image description here

    Are you sure that the folder is not just hidden (i.e. it starts with a dot .)? Try opening the drive and then press Ctrl+H. Jan 9, 2013 at 17:47
  • I tried it, and even checked on terminal by "ls -al" command. It is not showing that folder.

  • Please, could you paste the relevant line (or the whole output) you get from mount? I'm interested in seeing the mount flags, as ntfs-3g (the NTFS driver for Linux) has some options to hide special files. Also, if you remember the name of the "lost" directory, could you try to run ls -ld "name of the dir"? Thanks! Jan 10, 2013 at 17:16
  • Sorry, i did't get u, which command i have to use for mount flag information..??

  • No worries. To know the mount flags just run mount without arguments and paste the output on your question. Jan 10, 2013 at 18:34
