| You need to boot into Safe Mode by pressing F8 before
Windows loads and
| right after the POST screen. This will give you an option
and choose
| Safe Mode.  If you can't get the timing down, just press
the restart

the startup

follow the directions:
|
| To take ownership of a folder, follow these steps:
|
|     1. Right-click the folder that you want to take
ownership of, and
| then click Properties.
|     2. Click the Security tab, and then click OK on the
Security message
| (if one appears).
|     3. Click Advanced, and then click the Owner tab.
|     4. In the Name list, click your user name, or click
Administrator if
| you are logged in as Administrator, or click the
Administrators group.
| If you want to take ownership of the contents of that
folder, select the
| Replace owner on subcontainers and objects check box.
|     5. Click OK, and then click Yes when you receive the
following message:
|        You do not have permission to read the contents of
directory
| folder name. Do you want to replace the directory
permissions with
| permissions granting you Full Control?
|
|        All permissions will be replaced if you press Yes.
|        Note folder name is the name of the folder that you
want to take
| ownership of.
|     6. Click OK, and then reapply the permissions and
security settings
| that you want for the folder and its contents.
