Answer : Windows 7 root directory permissions

Ctaufa,

Best way to do it is on the other drive such as D:\ drive, if i was you.

**** Note: You can try this but please becareful.  If you can back up your image, just in case you need to roll back for some reason.

Try this:
1. Reboot into Safe Mode.
2. Log on as Administrator.
3. Click Start > type in cmd
4. Press Ctrl+Shift+Enter
5. Run the process as Administrator.
6. Type the following commands and press Enter after each:
   takeown /f C:\ /a /r /d y
   cacls C:\  /t /c /g administrators:F  System:F  everyone:F
   (Answer "yes" when prompted "Are you sure?")

Now login to your PC using Administrator (or your login - make sure add to Administrators Group)

If you decide to go with D:\ drive, you still have to take ownership, permission, disable UAC, ect. and do the step above.  Guarantee will works.  Good luck.
