  1. Why am I denied access to C: Drive?


    I am denied access in the command editor to my C drive. All others are fine.

    The Tecra i5 has other general access issues and will not accept remote connection from Microsoft. All System report states is 1 or more drivers may be out of date or missing.

    I have a clean install but cant get into bios either. I have been unable to carry out the techs suggestions as Windows cannot access the files or directories needed and there is also no windows installer .Keeps displaying "look for an app …." I have been round and round in circles for weeks on this!!


    Please any suggestions are gratefully received and thank you to all those who took time to send answers.

    :)

    Why am I denied access to C: Drive?

    access denied c: drive

    ive switched off uac with command prompts but it made no difference the security tab of the c drive will not give me access to any of the tabs it just takes an age then comes up with the security warning " cant open access editor. access is denied".

    Thanks
