I would like to do a test...

 

• Boot your windows normally and logon using the Administrator account
• right click the C: drive and access the security tab like you did before
• click Edit
• click Add
• type Administrators on the blank box
• click Ok
• back to the Permissions window select Administrators
• on the second panel Permissions for check all the box's on the Allow column
• click Ok

Can you add permissions to C: by doing this?

Do you mean from my regular user account? From the new admin account, I have zero access to the C drive. It will not even show me the permissions. The screen shot before was from my regular account. In which case, it won't allow me to click on Edit due to my admin rights being blocked. Even when clicking properties, it shows my free disk space and total disk space as "0". It's a 1TB HDD with hardly anything on it.

 

Do you want me to try doing this (with your direction) in Regedit from the admin account? Would that work?

Use the Administrator account because it have more rights to do things.

Edit: click Advanced to get access to the file permissions.

Sorry. I am confused. You mean, do this after I burn the disk? The disk is burning to CD now.

 

Once it is burned, what do I do first.

Sleepy,

 

I can't. As stated above, I can not access the C drive from the admin. It tell me No Access. Nor can I make changes as outlined from my regular user account.

Ok. Time to try booting from the CD and see if you can access the Command Prompt

 

Changing permissions from the Command Prompt will be hard...

You need to access the BIOS and change the boot order to start from the CD. In some machines you can press some Fx key to access a boot menu and select the device to boot from.
