Copy over the contents to somewhere else and then format the drive and copy the contents back over to it.

I tend to do this myself depends how much data there is to copy. Could take a while the more data you have.

Not much help now but if anyone has problems with trusted installer permissions in the future you can use ExecTI from Winaero.

Serious word of warning though, you can do major damage when you run programs as TrustedInstaller to edit/delete files or registry entries so make sure you know what your doing or better yet do a full system backup first.
