After putting my 40gb drive in an enclosure to move them over to my new Toshiba laptop, Vista recognizes the folders but says there are no files, i.e., 'This Folder is Empty'. There's a lot of data on the disk and all files were present in my old desktop. How do I get Vista to recognize the files?

Use the Ask A Question button rather than the Discuss button.

Right now, I personally don't have a suggestion for you, but I will try to check into this.

Edit: It could be a problem with file permissions. Can you access the files as The Administrator in Safe Mode, or from the command prompt?
