How to reset ownership on boot drive

It seems my ownership became faulty.

I tried the trick from 10.6 but seems no longer working...


Boot into single user mode and enter the following commands at the prompt pressing RETURN after each:

mount -uw /

chown root:admin /

chmod 1775 /

reboot


Can someone update me....

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
