Default Data Recovery

If you only see "lost files" in folder view it means that the MFT table was not located and the original file names cannot be recovered.

You only option is to work with the un-named files. Try and reduce the number of word files that you saved into the folder. Then you can use a renamer product like http://download.getdata.com/MassRenamer.exe to rename the files using the meta data they contain.

You may also find Explorer View, http://download.getdata.com/ExplorerView-Setup.exe useful, as you can preview the contents of Word files in Windows Explorer and rename them with the f2 key.
