I'm dealing with a Dell Inspiron 3543 running Windows 8.1. Recently I changed the sharing settings on the C drive to "deny all" so my brother couldn’t delete my games. Now I’m stuck because the menu won’t open and the drive isn’t accessible. I tried resetting by rebooting and pressing F8, but that option isn’t showing either. The C drive seems damaged, but I have no idea how to fix it. I’ve looked on YouTube and Microsoft forums, but nothing works. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You should have blocked your brother's account. Denying access to all might also prevent you from accessing it yourself. It’s likely you weren’t the original owner. Check the permissions via right-click > properties > security, or log in as an administrator to verify ownership.
