Hi all,

My 1.5Tb seems to be giving issues. Two folders containing about 700gig shows up as empty all of a sudden. When I double click on them, the "Do you want to format" window comes up.

Under My Computer the drive shows as 100% full as it was before this problem started.

What can I do to fix it?

Windows provide you the facility of doing 1 thing in several ways
there are several way to open a folder
1) go to run and type the full path If this doesnt work
2) create a short cut to that folder If this doesnt work
3) go to command prompt and try to open it

If this also doesnt work then there is only 2 ways left
1) Format your PC
2) find another computer having same os copy is registry and pest it to your system
I think this will solve your problem

Sorry but that advice is completely wrong, especially copying & pasting registry items ..... this will almost certainly trash the system.

Can you tell us a bit more detail about the drive .... i.e. is it internal or external ?
if internal is it your OS drive ?
