Installed Oracle database express edition but not can't access c: drive

799976Sep 24 2010 — edited Sep 24 2010
I downloaded and installed oracle 10g express edition (universal) on my windows 7 64bit computer and went through the set up but I changed the default installed path to just c: drive (thinking it would create a folder by itself). After finishing the installation, my c: drive shows zero gb. When I try to open my c: drive I get a message saying "c:\ is not accessible. Access denied." All my files are there as i used folder shortcuts to access them. I tried uninstalling oracle but hit an error saying:

"This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is valid Windows installer package."

I can't install any programs or save/copy to any folder in my c: drive but I can save/copy to desktop.

Please help by any means, thanks.
