    Administrator account - incomplete activation


    I attempted TAKEOWN using the Administrator account and safe mode with networking.
    Access Denied.
    I think I need something like Sys Internals MOVEFILE for folders. That takes place on boot before access checks are in place
    I'll keep looking.

    What about downloading a live Linux USB/DVD, boot from that and try manipulating the files with Linux?

    After many futile attempts to access the externaldrive without encountering the "Access Denied" stopper.
    I went to Western Digital's Network Storage Manager tool and deleted the share from there (delete C_Drive_Share.png).

    It did work to free up the space It shows zero files and folders (C_drive.png).

    It had a slight disadvantage in that the folder for the Vista_C_Drive is still present in Windows Explorer(Explorer_ c_drive.png).
