The previous day the pendrive is working fine but today when i plug my pendrive to my pc but i can see nothing inside my pendrive. The disk space shows that there still have data inside my pendrive. How to solve this problem? Please help as the data inside is very important.

You can try format the pen drive and check the disk space again.

Edited: Sorry didn't read your post clearly. Better don't format the pen drive if you still wish to keep the data inside.

did you try to plug it to another pc instead of your pc?
could be pc problem, not pendrive

I concur with your suggestion. Also, you can try plug in on different USB port on the same PC. And try restart the PC then try again. If all also fail, then we'll think of something else

Yes, I already tried to plug it into my office pc. Same problem

Already tried your suggestion a few times edi. Still the same

823MB couldn't have just vanished into thin air. Some setting or software is hiding it?
Have you u checked "Show hidden files and folders" in the Window Explorer's Folder Options? Trace back what you did the previous day. Did you install any new software or change any setting?

Yup, that may be happended.
U may also enable to view system file .

I have the similar problem too with my kingston 100 CNY rat edition that i brought this year , how to help?

Another suggestion: try Linux Live CD (not sure which version is best nowadays). Boot up using the Live CD, then browse your pendrive. If you can see the file, copy it to the hard disk
