Windows Vista Black Screen Startup change disk permissions

A long, long path to the fix!

After following every fix including registry edits, startup repair, boot from DVD repair, etc, etc. Removed hard drive and connected to working PC, double-click hard drive was 'access denied'. Change permissions to give 'Everyone' full control, re-installed hard drive, restart, job done!

One error reported with the recycle bin after logging in but machine and applications running correctly.

Wish I had done that 3 hours earlier!
