title: After Robocopy, the copied Directory and Files are not visible on the destination Drive
body: <p>I've been happily using robocopy for backing up my computers to an external usb drive. It's great since it only copies the files that were changed/updated/new. I can take my external drive to any machine and look at it just as if it's another drive on the computer.</p>
  
  <p>I've recently purchased a 750g and another 1tb external hard drives. I ran a robocopy over the weekend that copied about 500g to my external drive. After the copy My Computer shows that ~500g has been used on the external drive. The strange thing is that when I click on the drive in Windows Explorer, nothing shows up in the right pane of Windows Explorer (and the + goes away in the left pane). I copied a single file (drag-and-drop) to this drive and it shows up in Windows Explorer. Command Prompt show the same thing. 1 file.</p>
  
  <p>I know the files are on the drive as it shows up as the Free Space has been reduced.</p>
  
  <p>I read that I should make sure simple file sharing is off, which it is. I also took ownership of the files as Administrator. Still nothing. It works the same on my WIndows XP machine and my Windows 7 Ultimate.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone else seen this? Or even better, does anyone know what I am doing wrong or how to solve this problem?</p>
  
  <p>thanks!
