thanks guys
yes, those issues mentioned are generally what happened - the majority
of the time, I was demonstrating the ulimate power of linux (how it
would work with minimal config) and attempting to fix windows' admin
issues through editing the files. So yes, in most cases I had accessesed
the hard drive.
My Music teacher wasn't happy; I argued for a couple of minutes using
most of what's been mentioned, until I realised it was fruitless, and
questioned you lot for some solid evidence!

No luck, however, on the admin issues...
Cheers :D
