Vista - Folders turned into files

Folders turned into files

Hi

I am running a WD 1Tb external drive attached to my PC running Vista Home Premium. A few days ago three folders on the drive started showing as files with no extension. I can no longer open the folders and I have to nominate a program to open the file.

I have run a number of scans on the drive and they have all come back clean.

Can anyone help me change them back into folders?

Thanks
