You should run the command from an Elevated Command Prompt. Running the Elevated Command Prompt is running the Command Prompt with administrative privileges. To run elevated Cmd, right click on Command Prompt or cmd and select run as administrator.

Hope this helps, Mrityunjay.

You need to get to the Command Prompt (black screen with white lettering) and run a command that will fix the problem.

To get to the Command Prompt click Start/Programs and look for the Command Prompt. Depending on your operating system the Command Prompt might be under Start/Programs/Accessories.

If you see the RUN command you can select it and when the window opens type: "cmd" (without the quotes) and press OK.

Once you have the Command Prompt open Copy and Paste the command line below into the Command Prompt and press Enter.

C:\>attrib.exe -r -s -h /s /d C:\*.*

I am assuming Drive C is your Local Drive with your operating system on it. That will be true for 99% of the case. If not replace the latter C above with your drive letter.

You can find the command prompt by:

Go to start and within start search type command prompt and it will bring it up on the left side.

You can also press the windows key and "R" to bring up the run dialog box. then within there you can type cmd. then hit enter and it will bring it up.
Also with Windows 7 when trying to do certain things it may not allow you to without opening the command prompt as an administrator.
You can open command prompt and run as administrator by going to start and within start search type command prompt then right click on it in the search area and select to run as administrator.
