i am looking for a software which will show all the hidden files and folders in a drive .
I am using Windows Folder options to view hidden files.
thats not the case . u r talking about tools>folder-options> view show hidden folders I think . but that will not show all like if it is hidden by using another software . so I want to look for those folders which are hidden using another software
Sorry but there is no such software. If a software hid a file, you will need that specific software to view files since all softwares hide files using different techniques. They are not interoperable.

It is useful for you.
Use ExplorerXP to see all those files(you will have to enable view hidden files in that) which windows hide in its windows explorer.
If you use winrar, you can see all the hidden folders on your drive.
