Folder visible in ubuntu but not in windows: No virus!
I have a Transcend 4 GB USB stick. The issue I am facing is after plugging it into a windows pc the folders became hidden. Changing the view settings to "Show hidden folders" in windows was not useful. Though the "Show hidden folders" remained checked the folder was not visible. This continued even after scanning with windows antivirus like kaspersky, nod32 and even clamav, bitdefender in linux.
I am able to use the folders in my ubuntu system normally. Suspecting permission issues I tried using the GUI controls under properties in ubuntu to change them for group and others. However it was remaining at none. As a novice in commands I have no idea about the commands to use.
Using ls -l command I get the following details about folders:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 amd-hp40 amd-hp40 407073 2010-08-25 22:58 chethan.doc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 amd-hp40 amd-hp40 928607 2010-09-06 05:17 Introduction to GRASS.pdf
drwx------ 7 amd-hp40 amd-hp40 4096 2010-08-27 13:13 Personal Data
Thanks in advance!
