Hi Jo, It sounds as if you are in the drive.
System Volume Information is a hidden file that you don't see unless you have show hidden files enabled in your folder options. It is also the information that houses the computer's system recovery information should you ever have to perform a system restore, found in the start, programs, accessories, system tools, and finally, system restore. Should you ever get to a point where you need to restore your computer and it's setting to an earlier time before a problem happened, you would perform a system restore, which would then retrieve the information from the system volume information file to replace what is currently there. This would not show up unless you were physically in the drive to begin with. If you'd like, When you see this file, press your backspace key, and I think you'll find that you have landed in the My Computer window of your computer, and that the drive is there. Especially if this window comes up right after the format, which is what will sometimes happen after a format. Either way, your computer would not let you access this information, ever, unless you were in safe mode, and even then, you would have a hard time accessing it. Another file of this type is a file/folder you can sometimes find on your external drives with the name of Recycler. This folder will not actually appear unless you delete something from this drive, at which point, it is the folder that houses your recycle bin contents, at which point, you can retrieve it from this folder instead of the recycle bin. This folder, like System Volume Information doesn't appear unless you have your folder options to display hidden files and folders.
