Hi There
I am trying to troubleshoot a windows 8 Sony Vaio laptop.
I am not sure exactly what has happened but I cannot run anything on it.
For example when I open My Computer and the C:\ I get "C:\ is not Accessible access denied"
I can open cmd prompt but if I try to run as administrator I get and error saying cannot access.
The same for any admin program, compmgmt, MMC, msconfig. but it says windows cannot access this file. I cant event run Task manager. and cant check event viewer or anything.
I have tired a automatic repair, but it Diagnosis the PC but returns that it cant be repaired.
I also tried Repair and the same occurs.
I also tried give administrators ownership of the C:\ as it says "Unable to display current owner" but this will not allow ownership to change on pagefile.sys, hiberfil.sys and swapfile.sys. along with a mcafee install.
I think it is the ownership error that is causing this but cant seem to solve
Can anyone assist? I am pulling my hair out.
Thanks
