Rettika, There is also another alternative.
If you don't want to lose all your data, just format only your C drive (or whichever drive you have installed your OS in), since only your OS is corrupted.
You need not format your whole disk.
I think your system has been infected with a virus. What actually is happening is, your file system has been corrupted. So all your files appear similar, and when you open a single file in Windows media player or VLC player or anything else, the default "open with" type of all the other files and apps also change to dat type.
I experienced this same problem in my laptop a few days ago, but since it was under warranty, i took it to the service centre and got my hard drive formatted and reinstalled windows.I suggest that you format ur hard drive after taking a backup of your data and reinstall windows and get a good antivirus software installed.
But i dont want to do formatting...........some other way to sought it out.plz suggest
this is a bit complicated............i wil try d previous one........thanx for the help:)
