    How to find out what happened with files


    Hello friends.
    Please answer me how to find out which files are deleted, moved or copied.

    It's a matter of it is that my friend doesn't know what happened with his photos.
    The photos disappeared so I am looking for solution what happened with files (deleted, moved...)

    I have tried in Event viewer but I didn't find about missing files.

    1) Sometime when "drag and dropping" Windows (or the user) accidentally picks up a folder and it gets dropped
    into another folder and in effect becomes hidden to the user (not where it is supposed to be).
    If you can recall some file names for files or folders use Explorer to search the drive and see if they are hidden somewhere, then drag them back.

    2) If the NTFS file system is corrupted -- run "chkdsk <drive letter> : /F and you get a bunch of "found" directories you know you have a problem. Hope you have a backup!
