Problem while accessing directory.

I am trying to create a treeView of all directorys,subdirs and files,
like an file explorer.(is there allready made ones )

I getting error: "Acces denied" while listing directory of C:\System Volume Information\
(edit:) How i can make this one work so it skips the unreadable directoryes/files

Here is the code:

   private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            foreach (string dirs in Directory.GetDirectories(@"C:\"))
            {

                TreeNode node = new TreeNode();
                node.Text = dirs;
                treeView1.Nodes.Add(node);
                foreach (string files in Directory.GetFiles(node.Text))
                    {

                            TreeNode subNode = new TreeNode();
                            subNode.Text = files;
                            node.Nodes.Add(subNode);
                     }
                }
            }
        }
    }

Thanks alot.

Normally, you can't access that folder

WinXP Pro under FAT32
1. Click Start, and then click My Computer.
2. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. On the View tab, click Show hidden files and folders.
4. Clear the Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) check box. Click Yes when you are prompted to confirm the change.
5. Click OK.
6. Double-click the System Volume Information folder in the root folder to open it.

7. Check/Assign Permissions to the user who is using the computer

private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

foreach (string dirs in Directory.GetDirectories(@"C:\"))

{

if(dirs != "C:\\System Volume Information")

{

TreeNode node = new TreeNode();

node.Text = dirs;

treeView1.Nodes.Add(node);

foreach (string files in Directory.GetFiles(node.Text))

{

TreeNode subNode = new TreeNode();

subNode.Text = files;

node.Nodes.Add(subNode);

}

}

}
