One of my antivirus programs unexpectedly did something wrong. Some of .lnk files were deleted by the antivirus program. How do I access the data on my GoFlex. In my hard drive now it is about 775 GB of data but I don’t have any idea to recover these files. Will I need a software application to get those files or can I do it directly in windows 7? Moreover, it used to happen that I couldn’t access files on my GoFlex. What I have to do in situations like that?
