Well i discovered what the issue was that prevent eclipse from creating the workspace folders and android SDK from creating the avd. well all these folders were under C:\Documents and Settings\Sam\ and apparently I did not have permission to change anything in the folders, i could create folders but other than that I could not do anything else thus any program that tried to modify any contents in the folders would be stopped. The trick is to right click on the Sam folder and select the 'sharing and security' option and change the options to allow and then go to the advanced tab and make Sam the owner or give Sam the privelegde to change contents and all the other things and apply this to the sub folders.
Once that was done , everything worked smoothly. Previously I had tried doing this by right clicking on the folder and going to the properties tab and changing the setting from read only but still this does not work since the folder reverts back to read only. Otherwise guys thanks.
