Exclamation System Reboots on opening a folder!

Hi,

I don't know if this is the right place, but I really need help!

My system reboots whenever I go to this particular folder! If I do anything (defrag, folder size check) with that folder, the system just goes into an immediate reboot. This problem doesn't occur with any other folder. This is not the boot partition.

I tried a chkdsk /f, but XP just hung after a point (at this folder, I suppose).

Help!

Hard to know what is causing this. You could have a virus, corrupt folder etc.

Are you able to go to a DOS prompt and navigate to this folder and do a DIR?

What folder is it? What is inside it?
