Windows 10: Lost Access to personal computer permissons for C: Drive Windows So I am Locked Out of all...

Accidentally opted out of give all access to my account on my computer on the C: Drive which has windows on it so I can't change the options in security or through command prompt as I can't run it through Administrative Permissions to force it to give me back the permissions on the drive. As windows controls the backups on the computer too, I can't restore from a point. Need help please.

Lost the Seagate...

The drive seems to be completely dead, my computer will not boot if I have it connected...to the windows cd or the new installation on the F1 drive (which is the boot drive now by the way)

Thanks for the above article, im booting into Vista: U 64 right now, I cant follow those steps if the drive is in, it will lock up before it gets that far or if its not a cold boot the drive does not appear on the list.
