I have seen where you also need to give your username account full right to a drive even if your account is in the group
Also look at Group Policy security trumps local security -----Original Message----- From: Michael Leone [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2012 2:57 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Virtual Disk Manager:Access is denied Here's a weird one - Running Win 7 Pro x64. My domain account is in the local Admins group. I am having difficulty encrypting my D: drive with PGP Whole Disk Encryption; it tells me there's no valid volume. Since I don't have anything on that volume I care about, I figure I will just delete the whole partition, and start over again. Except that I can't. I can't format it (I get an unknown error, and nothing in the Event logs, except Event 1, VDS Basic Provider, which - according to MS - can be safely ignored. Dunno why I get that; I'm not using the Hyper-V that the KB talks about ...). I can't delete the partition; I get "Virtual Disk Manager:Access is Denied". If I boot with a UBCD4WIN CD, I can delete the partitiion, and re-create it fine. But booting back into Win 7 gives me the same error, so it can't be related to the actual disk partitioning; must be something in Windows. But I can't find out what. I have no errors access drive D: - I can write to it, read from it, run programs from it, etc. All works as it should. I just can't figure out why I get the Access Denied message. I look at the security of the drive, and it seems right to me ("local PC\Administrators" has FULL access). Any clues as to where to go next? There's no errors in the Event Log, and no errors accessing the drive ... except when I want to go delete the partition or format the drive ... ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
