access c drive

Access to C Drive

Vista Build 5384 Vista Ultimate
When I try to change folder permissions, it tells me I don't have access to the C:\ Drive. It does this both on the local admin account and my domain account, both of which are members of the local administrators group.
Does one have to be a domain Admin to change these permissions on the local machine just because the computer was joined to a domain?
Thanks
Nick

I figured it out -- you have to take ownership of the drive away from the "TRusted Installer" account, which can be used only by Windows, and assign it to one of your administrator accounts.
Strange indeed.

I'm having the same issue as well. I cannot access files or save files on the other two partitions either. I have the 64-bit ISO download to my C:\user\richard directory and cannot acces the file. It is there though and search does not find it. Yet when I try to download the file again it says it exists already. I can see the file in the save as dialog window, I try to copy it from that location to a place I can actually save files to and a message comes up that the file no longer exists. This was a new install on a new out the bo hard drive. Anything I am missing? I have set all users to have full control and still nothing.
