Suspected a virus got through and corrupted my second hard drive. I can open it and it shows me about 8 items. There are hundreds of items on it. In properties it shows that the drive is filled to 90% capacity. I used the Program called "Get Data Back and it opened up a lot more files but there are still lots of files it will not show. Is there a better program that will do a better job of opening up this hard drive???
