I Can't Access My Partitions Directly!

hi guys ,

I have a problem with my partitions ,My hard drive is 160gb western digital sata ,I formatted it 4 partitions C-D-E-F ,any way it was ok for 2 months now but suddenly yesterday i was trying to open any partition , it didnt respond !! , i press double click and nothing happens , i have to right click then (OPEN) and that's so boooring ,i reinstalled my win xp ,but the problem still bothering me .

any one have any idea ?

 

I dont have any reason but have got an idea... Backup whatever you have on that drive into different drive... Go to Disk Management(RightClick MyComputer > Manage > Disk Management) delete that partition and make it again from there... n see if it workshah:

 

well ,thats my plane B when i have ne other choices .

thnx any way .

any other good thoughts ?

 

what exacty do you mean by: it didnt respond

where exactly did you double click

Edit: have you concidered using any 3rd party partitioning software like Acronis Disk Director

 

when i double click on C nothing happens !! .

well here is a clip shows my problems with details .

right, this problem is with XP, and i've never seen this before,
try updating your anti virus software and check for spyware with a program like spybot S&D, Ad-aware

update both and enter safe mode and start scanning

 

actually its the first time happens to me either and i dont have anti virus or anti spy wares ,when the problem happened i reinstalled win xp and formatted the C ,but the problem still exist !! .

thnx for help any way

any other thoughts ? , before i get into plane B ? which is hard on me :x: .

 

Go through [link=http://www.hardwareforums.com/windows-xp-security-guide-9738/]this thread[/link] and download all anti's of security threats...

 

go through Karan's posted thread, but before going to plan B run updated antivirus and anti spyware then run them in safe mode[ot]using XP online without a firewall and antivirus is like waving a red flag at a bull and saying "i'm here, come and get me"[/ot]

Also try running chkdsk or any physical disk consistency scanning software...The problem might be hardware related.
