    can't get access to main root


    i accidentally removed some items in the 'security' of the disk root,namely the user part........i left 'system' and 'admins'.....
    I thought that could remove the 'ask permission' pop-ups


    but after that, i can't get access to two partitions of my disk, one of which is my system root

    could any one help??

    Try a system restore to a point before you did this.

    Also, you can get rid of the permission pop-up by disabling UAC.

    Have you tried accessing your admin account?
