Windows 7 permissions corrupted after failed windows 8 installation

[rogerio53]

Hello.

Recently I tried to install windows 8. The process went well until near the end whwn I received a message saying that the installation was not sucessfull and that the system was going to be reverted to Windows 7.

The next boot with windows 7 I noticed that permissions on some folders and/or files had been changed and I cannot acess those folders.

Is it possible that this is a result of the failed installation? If so what can I do?

Thank you.

Hi Rogerio Tojeiro,

I believe you have a corrupt installation of windows on the system. It is more likely that it would cause error in present and in future as well.

It would be better if you have a clean install of windows on the system:
