Vista - Access denied to C: drive

I removed all the users and Groups from a data folder in the C drive. (Don’t
ask why) After doing so I no longer have access to the C drive, I can not
take ownership in the security tab, I get access denied. I have full access
to the system except opening the C drive, all apps work fine. Stomped

A couple of ideas

Have faith you can solve this!

System Restore
icacls - Launch the command prompt as administrator.

The restore point did not work I got a memory error, I tried ERD commander
2005 to restore the point but it did not recognize the system. What did work
was I slaved the drive to a Vista Ultimate operating system for the same
system and was able to take ownership of the drive. Thanks for the help and
suggestions.
