Virus/Worm/Malware on external Hard disk

Hey guys,

When I came to Saudi 2 days ago they took both my hard disks to search if there is anything on them... and lord behold his computer wasn't exactly virus free. Now i've got a worm/virus on each hard disk partition that I got rid off, but my problem is that when I double click on any of the partitions it gives me 'Access Denied' although i can right click open and explore...

Whenever I had this problem on my flash drive I used to format and all is good, but this is a 300GB hard drive and I'd prefer it if I didn't have to restart...

Anyone know a solution?

[edit]

Never mind, I found the solution,  I noticed that my autorun.inf file wasn't on the hard disk (I have custom autorun commands) and so when I tried pasting in my custom one, there was somewhere a hidden autorun.inf. So a simple replace of the file got it working again

[/edit]

[edit 2]

For anyone who's interested, this is what was in the autorun.inf

[autorun]
open=.\RECYCLER\Lcass.exe
shell\1=??
shell\1\Command=.\RECYCLER\Lcass.exe
shell\2\=??
shell\2\Command=.\RECYCLER\Lcass.exe
shellexecute=.\RECYCLER\Lcass.exe

[/edit 2]

What do they search for?
Can you have encrypted files?

lol they're basically searching for any pr0n... Its the first time they do these and yes next time I come I'm putting encrypted files because all he does is use the search feature and search for videos... then randomly clicks videos with "key" words in them lol
