I recently started my computer up and all of a suden i
lost rights to one of my partitioned drives, i have
access to the rest just this one I have revoked rights to
for some reason or another. Also when I try installing
some things it doesn't want to install parts because i
don't have access. I am using Windows XP pro and I have
Zone Alarm and Norton runing on my computer. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Derik,

Logon as Administrator and reset the folder/drive permissions:

Use the calcs.exe command line and reset the permissions.
The following comand line paramenter will change the ACLs of all files and
directories on drive C to allow full control for the Administrators local
group:
cacls c:\ /t /e /g Administrators:f
