Access to C Drive

When I try to change folder permissions, it tells me I don't have access
to the C:\ Drive. It does this both on the local admin account and my
domain account, both of which are members of the local administrators group.

Does one have to be a domain Admin to change these permissions on the
local machine just because the computer was joined to a domain?

Thanks

I figured it out -- you have to take ownership of the drive away from
the "TRusted Installer" account, which can be used only by Windows, and
assign it to one of your administrator accounts.

Strange indeed.

I'm having the same issue as well. I cannot access files or save files on the
other two partitions either. I have the 64-bit ISO download to my
C:\user\richard directory and cannot acces the file. It is there though and
search does not find it. Yet when I try to download the file again it says it
exists already. I can see the file in the save as dialog window, I try to
copy it from that location to a place I can actually save files to and a
message comes up that the file no longer exists.
This was a new install on a new out the bo hard drive. Anything I am
missing? I have set all users to have full control and still nothing.
