Hi all;
I have a divx reader with hard disk connected by a wireless network to my PC: while I was renaming some folders the network went down and the folders become files, so now are unreadable.
Now, when I connect the network drive, in the left column I have 8 folders (instead of the 10 that I had before) and two files of 0kb.
Before this problem these two files were two folders containing hundreds of files.
How can I restore them? remember that I don't have a physical access to the drive, only by network.
Thank you

Without physical access to the drive, I'm afraid you're not going to have much luck. When addressing a drive as a network volume, Windows heavily restricts what you're able to do with it (and this may not be Windows so much as a limitation of the smb protocols).
Does the drive have any kind of administration interface (usually accessible through a browser) or the ability to hook up via USB? If so, your chances for any type of recovery go up dramatically.
Hopefully someone else will have a happier answer for you.
If you're handy it shouldn't be too hard to take the drive out of the device and mount it in a PC. If it is a 2.5" drive you'll need an adapter. Of course, this depends on how bad you want to recover the data.
Mount the drive.
Create a sector based image - to protect the drive structure in case something goes wrong.
Use explorer to explore the drive and see if the files are there - if not use a program like [url=http://www.piriform.com/recuva:3cmrdq76]Recuva[/url:3cmrdq76] to try and recover them.
Replace the drive in the device and see how it works.

Well, yes. But that does require physical access to the drive, which Danthon implied he did not have. Hmm.
I'm guessing it is a media player serving content from a PC over the network. I could be wrong (there's always a first time ), but if that is the case opening the device is probably the only option if you really want the content.
