Do you see text txt, doc files on your hdd?

Try set windows explorer to show hidden and system files in the folder settings.

try to copy any of the text files on your PC or on another drive. Do they open and read properly?

What software are you using to view the files?

What happens if you open drive in Windows Explorer?

Most word processor "file view" functions are NOT designed to show all files on the disk, but ONLY those files you are looking for. Most common cause for this problem is the "file type" setting.

What exactly are "files with text on"? This is not a specific file type description. Do you mean an ascii text file with a txt extension?
