Ok- so I started in safe mode and I figured to make sure I get the whole
drive I started with the root C drive and changed the permissions and now I
cannot even boot up the drive in my laptop. So I went back to the external
case and hooked it up to the desktop (win2k) and took ownership back to be
able to access the files. But am I now screwed with being able to boot this
drive in my laptop?
