Access Denied to C: drive
I cannot access my one and only hard drive C: on my Vista Home Ed laptop. I
attempted to change permission on a file and subsequently locked mysel out of
the laptop. I cannot do anything. I cannot change user controls, install or
delete any program, switch users or anything. Access is totally denied to the
harddrive. I am the only user with only one user account, my name as
administrator. I cannot access or add an administrator account. Can anyone
help me or offer any suggestions? Please do not recommend changing
permissions because I cannot write to or delete from the hard drive. Thank
you in advance.

RE: Access Denied to C: drive
I am the only user of my laptop and I amnot sure what I did exactily. I was
trying to find a folder that was not showing, I think it was a hidden or
system folder, and I tried to give myself permission to see the folder when
this happened. Should I take the laptop to a repairman and will he be able to
access the C: drive and allow me back in?
Re: Access Denied to C: drive
Hi
even i have faced somewhat the same problem.....i cannot access my one and only one C: drive in VISTA even being the Admin..
I cannot install any programs...cannot restore the system as it returns the error code.
Resolution:
The other solution i got from sites is that if you have the original installation CD--the same copy installed on the system, then u can repair the OS by using that CD.
I am sure the above link will solve your problem.
