Folder Missing

Hi

We have a windows 2008R2 and we had a shared folder within the server and all of sudden it had dissappared from the E drive. But if i go to any workstation and type the unc path with the server name and the folder name , i can access the the folder. But if i log into the server with the remote desktop connection i cant see the folder.Any ideas appreciated

Thanks

Do you see the file from command prompt on Workstation machine? Login as an administrator and run DOS as an administrator. Then go to E: drive and check if you can see the folder or not.

I logged into the local server and went into the command prompt and
and went to e drive and when it came to e drive and entered E:\>dir

still i cant see the folder and this folder is not a hidden folder.

x3man

Have you tried checking Show hidden files and folders and unchecking Hide protected operating system files?
