Ayosha, you'll have to install a sniffer to get to the bottom of this...
otherwise, to save yourself aggravation and time lost to investigate, just
simply reformat and start over...

I'd investigate to see why this is so first b4 reformatting as experiences
like this is invaluable for future reference!

Please do post and share your results if you can...
