Hello, I Hope my Solution below helps you!

You need to take ownership of it.

 

Right click the drive and select properties.

 

From the windows that appears select Security(1). On that tab select Advanced(2).

 

A new windows will open....

 

Select the Owner(3) tab and select Edit(4).

 

From the next screen you can select your self as the owner(5) and make sure you check the "Replace owner on subcontainers and object"(6, make sure you check this, my image is not checked, but you want to check it) box.

 

Apply(7)

 

Hope this helps.

Hi BunniLeigh

 

Not sure how you have re-installed Win7 but it should have been possible to complete the installation without losing the other partitions.

[ install on C: and ignore the rest ]

If you chose to delete all partitions and have just one large one - this may explain it.

 

I assume that you have checked in Disk Management ?

Start > type in ....diskmgmt.msc .....ENTER

Your hard drive will show as Disk 0 and partitions will be allocated drive letters C: / E: / F: etc.

 

What is there ?

 

It is possible to create partitions using Win7.

 

Let me know what is showing in Disk Manager before we go any further.

 

I am away from home at the moment and connection is VERY poor.

One of the other mods may be able to pick this up if I can't get a connection to answer you :)

Thank you for your help, my friend is bringing the laptop back round here tomorrow, and i will update you then to what is going on, all he really wants to do, is put the partitioned drive back into the one that was originally there.

 

again, thank you

OK - I will check back again tomorrow.

 

I seem to have a better connection now so I should be able to post with no problems ...................hopefully :)
