Okay, so, you are probably going to be mad at me
Before I read your message, I was checking out some YouTube videos on the whole access denied thing with fixboot and I decided to give it a try after watching three vids that said practically the same thing.
This is what I did: (I am going to use (BS) where a backslash is because mine does not work on this notebook)
x:(BS)windows(BS)system32>diskpart

Access is denied.
So, I followed all the steps carefully and I still get access denied.
How do I undo the steps I did above??
The cursor is now at:
