| | I'm currently running Vista64 ultimate SP2 and since I can't boot into windows I'm trying to use the takeown command in command prompt to take ownership of a file. However, vista keeps telling me that takeown isn't a correct internal or external command and right now I'm completely stumped. |

| Two things come to mind ...
First, you need to login as the real Administrator to use this command. Unless you unhid the real Admin account, you're logging in as yourself and you don't have the elevated rights needed.
Problem now is that you have to be able to login to the desktop and use the Computer Management plugin to enable the default Administrator account -- and if you can't get to a desktop, don't know how to do that.
Second, and less important, the command sytax is "takeown /F ".
