Hello
I have the latest version of the mac Os X. I got one external drive, ntfs formatted and not sure why, some of the folders in this drive has turned into Unix Executable File - I can not access them.
Please let me know what I can do since those folders contain back up photos I do not want to loose.
Thank you!

Here is a screnshot to show you what I mean 🙂
So those Unix Executable Files used to be folders 😟
I have access to windows through vmware. I may have a PC to test running windows 7 - but not today 😟
I have ran 2 softwares against the drive to see if there was any currupted files that I could recover: Drive Genius and Data Rescue. They did not work
Any ideas?
Hey! I am really desperate here 😟 Any ideas guys?
I am having the same problem, I was just working on the files yesterday and today the folder converted as well. I can't seem to get any resolution.
Thanks a lot!
This solved the problem for me!
Just FYI you can hide the hidden files again by typing the following command in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0
Hi did you ever get a solituion for this ?
