I had an issue before where DEP was killing my applications as they were starting up. Recommendation was (per this forum) to re-install Vista, or back up to a good recovery point. I took the former route as all my recovery points were corrupted. Reload went fine, DEP is not causing trouble anymore but I have a new issue because of the reload.

I have a partition where I backed up all of my data. Since it was a admin locked partition, after I reloaded the OS, I cannot access it anymore. I have tried to take ownership, but I keep getting an error that the drive is inaccessible.

Any ideas?
