C drive access denied
« on: June 05, 2013, 12:12:46 AM »
i am not able to open my c drive.. even if i log in as admin i am not able to access c drive.
i changed permissions for c drive yesterday so that the guests cant access the drive.. but now even i am not able to access it.
i have tried to change the permissions but whenever i click the advanced permissions tab it also shows the same thing.. access is denied. i have tried system restore but that too doesn't work... i even tried cmd. but that too doesnt work
