    Hi to all! I'm newbie to the forum.
    I have a terrible problem with best friends PC. I change security policies to her Hard Drive (C) in Safe Mode using Administrators account (Not her account). I delete all the users that cant use C:/ (including System), and made her the only user that can have access to the drive. Then i reboot the PC and windows came up with blue screen that wrote "Autochk exe not found. Skiping auto check" and restarted in loop. The same happens in Safe Mode. I tried to copy Autochk exe from an operating Windows XP disk to C:/ but it can't be done (I don't have access to C:/). Does anyone know how can i solve this?

    Please help its not my PC!!
    Thanks in advance

    Hi fireman1979,

    Why did you do this ? Windows requires System/Administrator level access to some files/folders [as you are finding out].

    Perhaps a Windows reinstall should solve the problem.
