These are the things I've done - I started by using a memory stick (exfat) to transfer the file with the audio tracks in to my laptop. I tried to open the audio files and it says this file can not be played.
So i have gone back with an external hardrive and formatted a section of that drive to be exfat and copied the files over. I then opened the audio files on my laptop and they worked but now since i got home i've turned my laptop on again and now the files are bringing up the same error message as before?
I tried plugging the HD into my PC to see if i could open it there but that pc doesn't even show the HD partitions at all? (it knows i plugged something in but it doesn't show the drive!)
I need these files for a uni project which is due soon so any help would be appreciated!

Did you safely dismount/remove the device? If not you might have damaged the data structure. Did that drive have issues before? – Seth – 2018-03-16T18:40:27.647
Boot into a live version of linux (Ubuntu if you are not familiar with the different flavors available) and see if it can see the drive. If the answer is no then something is wrong with the drive physically or the partition tables. If it can be viewed on linux then copy the data off – Eric F – 2018-03-16T18:47:08.647
how has this happened with both drives though? the HD and memstick have always been fine? – justin – 2018-03-16T18:51:28.360
