Your computer drives get invisible by a virus attack!

Since this has became a huge issue, I tried the following solution.

This can be used in any version of windows. Actually Windows XP Pro has a Gpedit.msc which is nothing but the Group Policy Editor. If you are using Windows XP Home edition the program is not included. But don't worry you can download the program with the following link

Download Group Policy Editor !

This program is used to hide or unhide drives.

  • First set them to hidden
  • Then immediately reset them to unhide
  • Reboot to reflect the newly updated changes

If you need to download and install the program (Gpedit.msc).

  1. Unzip the zipped file that you downloaded
  2. Open the Read This .txt file under GPEdit_Files folder and follow the guide

To start Group Policy Editor click Start, Run and type Gpedit.msc and click the OK button.

I hope this will help you!!!
