If you go to a DOS prompt, can you access the drive?

[ERUM]

yes its opening

That is good...there is nothing wrong with the phyiscal drive.

It would appear as though your Windows Explorer has gone bad. Can you access anything through it?

Now that's funny, in all my years of using windows (win 2 and up) I've never seen it do that.

What does the disk management in the computer manager tell you about the partition?

[ERUM]

i can access like start-run

for example:
d:\Inetpub\wwwroot

d:\Inetpub\wwwroot

That tells me that the system partition drive letter is 'D:' instead of the typical 'C:', so what is 'C:' ? is it an actual partition or something else? The Disk manager (my previous post) can answer some of that, a screen shot would work too.

Drive C,D,E,F are system drives

[Hack]

You have 4 partitioned drives?

Is it only C: that is giving you a problem?

I've seen this happen a couple of times on various users PCs, there's a few different causes. One of which is a virus/spyware program.
First thing to do is check in the root of your C drive (and any other drive that is giving you this problem) to see if you have a file named Autorun.inf. You can check this either via command prompt using the DIR command or by just going Start -> Run -> C:\Autorun.inf -> OK. If it errors saying the file could not be found then its not there (obviously). If it opens up an inf file in Notepad then you do have that file there. If you do have it, then you need to delete it, again the easiest way is via command prompt (use the DEL command).

Let me know the results

Yes, like Chris128 mentioned in s probably a virus or malware. A backdoor in to the drive would be through the open dialog of program, notepad for example.

If you need to access hidden files on the system try:

yes its giving me problem in all hard disk drives(C,D,E,F) and USB drive too.

and Autorun.inf file i search in my whole system i find it in E,F drive

Open the "Autorun.inf" files what are the files that is being referred to?

[Lord Orwell]

are e and f removable drives? If so they are supposed to have an autorun file. I have seen this problem before where explorer got messed up. When it asks you what to open c:\ with, point it to c:\windows\explorer.exe.
