Can't change permissions or take ownership of Local Disk D:/
Last response: in Windows Vista
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!
I need help changing permissions and taking ownership of my Local Disk D.I have denied all permissions to my Windows Vista Local Disk D,and now I cannot change the permissions or take ownership even as an Administrator.System Restore didn't help.The disk is marked "Access Denied" and when you go to its properties,you find the following:
General: Access Denied
All spaces 0 bytes
Sharing: Not Shared
Security: Current owner---Unable to display current owner
When I click to change ownership to Administrator,I get "Unable to set new owner on Access Denied (D![:)]( ":)")
. Access is Denied"
Same results when I go to Advanced.
Please help me!!!.I don't want to lose my documents on the Disk.

What is your local disk D?
The operating system is usually C (it is on mine)
One of my DVD drives is D... I won't get ownership to that for any CD / DVD inserted unless it is a RW disk.
Other D drives are system recovery / restore drives. There is no need to take ownership of this partition.
What does your D drive represent?

Best solution
Try activating Vista's hidden administrator then taking ownership.
The hidden administrator is the most powerful user, so remember to disable it after you have finished with it.
