    Let me know if you have any questions?

    Yes,but i repeat those steps to have access on my dvd drive
    Code:
    - boot with F8, go to the domain controller restore mode. (not sure what the exact name is.)
    - Log in
    - start regedit
    - goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
      Find EnableLUA and set it to 0
      Find ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin and set it to 0.
    restart your pc.
    - Now start MMC
    - add the snapin Computer Management
    - goto storage -> diskmanagement
    - rightclick your windows partition and click properties
    - goto security
    - click advanced
    - goto owner
    - click edit
    - select the owner (in my case i used my personal account who is administrator)
    - click mutlipe times op ok.
    - close MMC
    - reboot pc
    - log in normally
    - start regedit
    - restore uac settings EnableLUA = 1   and ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin = 3.
    After that i did the upgrade and now i have full access on my pc.
