Try this:

Start / All Programs / Accessories
Right-click on Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator
Click Yes to confirm
You are now an administrator
Type R at the prompt and press enter
Now do this:
remove.packages("PREDA")
q("no")
Close the command prompt.
Now start R the way you normally would
You should be able to
source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("PREDA")
