    I DID take ownership of the Win7 Drive, yesterday. Now?


    I DID take ownership of the Win7 Drive, yesterday, after re-installing Win7 Ultimate. What sturm un drang should I expect for doing so?

    Haven't noticed any difficulties yet. I tried to give myself more permissions for c:\windows but got too many access denied so I removed myself from the 'list'

    BTW, I frequently run into problems with computers, sys, freeware, etc. however I do so knowing quite well that someone I know or have yet to meet will do something similar. The 'learning curve'' I think of as education, any damages as tuition.

    Thanks for any replies!
