Windows 7 - Format disk in drive g pop up

| 07-16-2011 | #1 |
| | Format disk in drive g pop up Every 5 minutes or so , a pop up saying "You need to format the disk in drive g before you can use it" comes up. Problem is, I have no disk in drive g, and nothing connected to my usb ports. So i have no idea what this means. Add to this that the device manager keeps refreshing and will not let me click anything. Any help? |

| | Welcome to Windows Seven Forums. Sounds like your computer may have a virus. Use Malwarebytes for a full scan in Safe Mode to see if anything shows up. |
