format using command prompt

use

FORMAT volume /FS:file-system /V:label /X


volume = volume drive letter followed by a colon
file system = file system hehe
/X to force mount the volume

go to folder options --> view tab --> uncheck simple file sharing

this will enable security option for all folders

now right click ur drive or folder --> Properties --> security tab


in that tab select ur admin account name and check full control to get all rights for that drive or folder


if inner folders give same error follow the same procedure fot it

actually you have malware. I guess when you right click, the default option which is bold is something like Open(O) or Autoplay or something. Am I right?

hi :) it is due to malware !!!!!!! once da antivirus detects it ,it will delete the files affected by dat malware. so write down da worm name and search for dat file in registry . . and delete all keys .......
