    got a problem with my Laptop •Manufacturer: HP •Model :Compaq CQ58

    When I try to access Local Disk (C) a message pops up on my screen “access denied” when I view properties “used space 0 bytes” and “free space 0 bytes” drive c is shaded in blue completely. . .

    Homegroup won't allow me to make changes. Some of messages I came across is “Can't open access control editor” or “your system administrator has blocked you” I can save file on Local Disk (C) and I can't view anything from Local Disk C, I can't install softwares, when I try to troubleshoot problems it says Windows can not access C:\Windows\system32\msdt.exe and when I check diagnose it says ”a problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting.

    I tried to refresh it to factory settings when I click get started “no action at all” even tried the options that says Remove everything and reinstall windows, still the was not action then I tried Advanced Start-up but still it didn't work. . . What can I do?

    1. Log in as a local administrator.

    2. Take the ownership of the C: driver.

    3. Add your ID in security and give full access.

    4. Change the NTFS permission back to normal.

    5. Reboot the computer.

    Can you be a bit more explanatory about the steps we should take to resolve this?

    I am experiencing same issues with my surface pro 3 and the onscreen keyboard does not have the special keys (ie fn, start etc)
