Did you do a clean install or an upgrade? You make mention about Outlook trying to access c:. What do you mean by that? Your post reads as if there was a botched install. Will need a little more information.

I have a Daul boot system that had Windows Vista Ultima and Windows XP Pro w/SP3 installed.I updated the Vista to Win 7 Ultima 7077Beta. The installation seemed to work fine.The problem is that I can not access my C drive with any filew managers or anything else. I can open the My Documents and favariotes whicjh is strored on C drive but that is about all. I get an access denied error and I an the administrator. My Outlook "pst " file is alos stored on C drive and Outlook will not start because it says that it does not have access to C drive.According to "My Computer" the C & Ddrivesare shared and I cannot get to either. But I am booting from and running Win 7 from C drive. I have 6 hard drives on the system and I can access all the other drives.I cannot change the owner in the security tab under properities of C drive. Access denied.Thanks in advance.

Hi Blue KnightTo maintain the integrity of the beta, these forums only support the official Windows 7 beta Build 7000. The next official build will be the Release Candidate (RC). When the RC is released we will be supporting that build.
