    So here's what happened. I needed a file from my friend. He took my external HD and put the file I needed on it using Ubuntu, then after plugging the hard drive back into my Vista computer, about 200GB of files are missing.

    The thing is, they are still there though, because out of 250GB, I only have 30GB free.

    I know for one thing though, it's not hidden, because it's set to show to hidden files.

    So, my question is, where are my files? I only see about 10% of them.

    The only weird thing I noticed is that I THINK the drive went from drive E to drive G.
