Files are there, but Windows Explorer doesn't show
I think index or disk corrupted. The disk shows 0 byte on the folder, but when I use dir command, it shows files inside it. The folder is about 100GB of millions of voice recording mp3 files. So, I had to use 'dir /p' to see if files are there.
Long time ago, somehow I was able to fix this problem without running chkdks, can't remember what I did. It was very simple trick to fix this problem...
Before I replace this disk, I like verify what are the most recent files in the folder. I can't find a switch of dir command to list the most recent files first with /p. What is it?

Somehow, the backup disk replaced as the main disk now shows correctly. I think I have to just replace the whole system. I think it's rather related to file system of the host OS.

Thank you all. Now I know how to list files of most recently written from a folder. It's almost impossible to get the information when all files are under single folder without doing through command line or powershell.
I'm transferring all voice recordings to a virtual machine, but soon I have to transfer back to a new machine, I don't like to give disk acitivity overhead to disk pool which has many virtual machines.
I really appreciate all of you for very prompt response.

Just to update,
Nobus, it was attribute problem. I checked attribute of hidden on files in the folder, it was still unchecked, but the parent folder shows 0 byte, something happened to file system. I received lots of file corruption message from scheduled robocopy.
I'm almost done with moving recording files to a new VM, can't deal with SATA 1.0 drive anymore..

tx for feedback - however i don't understand why other answers -like scan for virus - were also credited...
I guess perhaps he thought that with the combination of testing which were all fairly possible causes it helped narrow down the possibilities?
That's what I thought when I got the assist.. obviously my answer was not the solution

I have a backup disk which has the same capacity of the corrupted disk.
Corrupted Disk: H
Backup Disk: D
Every day, 'Robocopy /E' runs to copy H:\Source folder to D:\Target folder.
Now, when I tried to get size of files from property windows of D:\Target, I get the same symptom, 0 byte. I don't think two disks can't go wrong at the same time. I rather think something related to host OS' NTFS or maybe robocopy copies files and other attributes (whatever /E does..), it's related to it.
