Windows 7 - Messed up C: disk administrations, help!
Asked By Seuthrian
07-Nov-09 02:44 PM
In desperate need of help!
I was trying to install something on my computer, and it kept telling
me I did not have administrative rights to do so. So I browsed through
some older posts in this forum and set out to fix things on my own: big
mistake. I right clicked on the C drive and went to Properties. I
clicked the Security tab and then proceeded to go to both Authen. User
and Users, editing them both and giving them both full control. Anyways,
I got paranoid about this (plus it did not help me in the download
process of what I needed at all), and I went under Authen. User first,
and clicked "deny" under full control. And now? it is gone, the whole
user group is gone!
So I really need help with two things. How do I get that group back?
And what "rights" should be allowed under both Au. User and Users? I
really want to just set things back in order. Please help!

By selecting "Deny" for all users who log into the computer, you have
effectively locked out *everyone*, as even the local Administrator is a
member of those groups. You only recourse now is to format the hard
drive and reinstall the OS. You'll need to use something like a Linux
Live CD, which operates "outside" the NTFS file permissions, to access
and recover any important data before doing so. A very useful one can be
found here: http://www.ubcd4win.com/index.htm
Those groups would normally never have permissions higher then "Modify"
on any files/folders, assuming that you are using only applications
properly designed to run under Vista's security paradigm.

I used Acronis trueimage to do exactly what you want to do left on the new disk. If I wanted to copy just one partition, in the Linux world the partitions are numbered. The Windows naming convention also numbers the partitions. (Partition0 is entry in the MBR of the output disk.
