Hi yesterday i bought a 500gb "Elements" external Hard drive as i wanted to use as back up unit. I soon started to transfer datas from my computer to the new hard drive and i also replace there some files previously saved with Power backup. I divided the files in different folders and i replaced the files from Power backup into them. It took several hours as the original Powerbackup file was about 96 gb. The problem is that now when i open my external hard drive i can see just the folder in wich i didn't replace the files from power backp and no more those in which i replaced them. They should be somewhere since the used space in my had drive is much more than the space used by the folders i still can see. I also tried to create the missing folders once again but it doesn't let me do it since it says "Impossible to rename New Folder: the file still exhist. Specify a different name".What can I do to find my missing folders? Thank you
 
Try showing hidden files (tools->folder options->view tab->show hidden files and folders radio button, it's part of the way down the advanced settings section)
 
Have you tried using Partition Magic 8.0's file browser? Or you could use Power Backup to copy the backup back to the computer, then back to the disk. Check the backup settings to see if you made the files hidden in Power Backup.
