Just got a new computer(Dell) a couple of weeks ago. Had a 80 gig hard drive, so I decided to partition it.
Made an additional primary D(already had Dell's setup primary and C) and 4 logical E.F,G, and H. Now this was done with Partition Magic. However, I now have a problem with the C and D primary drives. When I run Norton Utiltities it tells me that there are Security Descriptor problems on the C and D drives. Rebooted to have Windows fix this problem, but the problem remains.
Also, paritition magic will no longer work, as it too can't locate the drive to initiate. I then installed Acronis Paritition Manager on Drive E. It works, however, it too tells me that there are these same problems on Drive C and D. It said it would fix them with a reboot. On reboot, it says that it can't do the repair as it can't locate the drive.
How can I make the necessary changes to drive C and D to solve these Security Descriptor errors that are creating these problems?
My Windows Xp Home works perfect, though. However, I tried to do a Reformat of Drive D first through Windows--which said another device or software has exculsive rights to the drive, and to do a reboot to format the dirve. Rebooted, and got the error that it can't locate the drive to do the repair. This tells me that if in the future I have to reinstall my Windows operating system on Drive C, I will have problems.
I need help with a solution now. Any partiition experts out there?
