Full Discussion: Interrupted Cygwin install changed permissions on C drive
Special Forums Windows & DOS: Issues & Discussions Interrupted Cygwin install changed permissions on C drive Post 302746041 by DGPickett on Tuesday 18th of December 2012 04:28:39 PM

The cygwin install is not very administrative most of the time, so this is odd. See if you can write files from a session like a console "run as administrator". When I right-click wondows explorer, it says I can "Run as administrator". It sounds like c:\ premissions are damaged, but it may be some related registry thing.
