can anyone tell me whats wrong here?

They look like temporary folders from update installs. That usually occurs when the system can't find your %TEMP% folder and just slaps them in the root of the drive with the most space.

Reboot in safe mode and you should be able to delete them.

hi!
thanks and can u tell me how can i boot in safe mode? thanks

It's probably by hitting F8 when the computer is booting up.

Look at the boot screen carefully when your computer is booting, and it should tell you when button tp press to get to safe mode.

thanks

If the problem is simply file in use by some process, you can get freeware programs that perform move/deletion during booting (before any process claims these folders). Here is link to one:

However, the problems is more like due to file ownership conflict. If no easy solution is offered, you may have to move the valid folders/files to another drive and perform a reformat of the maxtor drive.

Good luck.
