      @sahil kumar:
      1. Enable administrator account: Boot in safe mode > Open an elevated command prompt > give the following command: net user administrator /active:yes
      2. Reboot your computer, log on with the administrator account and then try to change the permissions as described on the article.

          sahil kumar: If you cannot do anything then you have only these options: 1. To perform a Windows refresh again or 2. Reset your PC to factory state (Backup your files first by connecting the disk to another working computer).

      av_admin_1984: Can you open the file(s) in another computer? If yes, then I suggest to check you hard drive for problems and if the drive is OK, follow the instructions on the article and change permissions in folders that contain the files that you cannot open.

          1. Download and install TakeOwnershipPro
          2. Right-click on the folders that contain the files that you cannot open, and click 'TakeOwnerShipPro'

      @av_admin_1984: At this case, try the following:
      1. Use the instructions from this post to create a new user account with Administrative privileges.
      2. Sign-out from the current user and login to the new user account.
      3. Check if everything is working fine. If yes, transfer your files from the old account to the new one. If not, backup your files and perform a clean installation.

        Clean installation ? You mean setup windows ?

    4-I try to convert the disk with Acronis disk director , it tack about 3 hours for 50% of converting and the power suddenly disconnected (My legs got stuck in the power cord and the connection was cut off)
    5-I turned the system on , and with Live linux I saw there is no partition any more !…
    6-I download Active boot disk(before that,I google it for recovering lost partition with all data wit out losing) and I search for lost partition and That software found that.
