    Can't access a drive which was edited before by Vista user permissions


    Hi,

    I have 4 partitions c:, d:, e:, f:
    Since today I was using Windows Vista but today I formatted my c: drive and installed Windows 7.

    And now I can not access my d: drive with Windows 7
    When I was using Vista I remember I edit some drives user permissions to be not accessed from other users and people on the network.

    I am not sure If the problem is because of that right now?
    I booted my laptop with Avtive@ Boot Disk which is a live CD and I can access and browse my D: drive with it.

    But Windows 7 tells me Location is not available. E:\ is not accessible. Access is denied.

    I am also attaching 3 pictures to show how it looks like..

    Thank you for you time and help!

    Solved!

    A friend of mine suggested to boot on safe mode and change user permissions. It didn't work exactly but at least allowed me to browse my drive when I booted Windows normaly. Still it didn't want to change permissions but I replaced the ownership with my current user and so changed permissions.

    Thank you for your comments,
