Problem in Opening Drives/partitions from My Computer

Facing problem in opening the drive(partitions) like C:, D: E: etc
The 'open with' window appear as u clicks on any drive, or anything else happens

Solution:

1. Click on Start and then on Run.
2. Type cmd in Run. It will open a command prompt window, change your directory to the root director.

example:

your command window look like this

type 'cd\' and press enter


then you will be on your root drive like 'c:', and you will have a prompt 'c:\>'.



3. Now here you type 'dir/ah *.inf ' and press enter.
4. Make sure there is a file 'autorun.inf' file in this list.
5. If yes, this is the file causing all the problem, you need to remove this file to solve your issue.
6. Removing this file is not a simple task. To remove this file you first need to remove the
attributes associated with this file, i.e. hidden, system file and write protection.
7. For that type ' attrib -h -s -r autorun.inf ' and press enter.
8. Now you can simply delete the file by typing ' del autorun.inf '.
9. Do same thing on all the drive, you are not able to open.
10. Restart the Computer.

And your problem now is gone
