So yesterday my black MacBook I got in late 2008 which runs leopard was acting kind of slow. I went to see if maybe I had to much data on my hard drive. So I clicked on hard drive properties and then I saw at the bottom there was something that said access ( I think? This is all from memory as I can't get on) and I remember it's saying something like read and write for admin and you could change things etc. But I noticed there was a "everybody" option and it was set to read only ( I think)
So I thought that this meant that other people could see my data ( which I can't have happening considering I have work stuff on here) so I made it so you couldn't get onto it.I forget what my options were but I know I changed it. This is all from memory so I'm sorry if it's confusing.
So I do that and nothing happens, this morning I turn it on and the start up sound happens and I see the apple and see the spinning thing but it doesn't do anything after that. It never goes past that screen.
Is what I did the cause of this or did something else happen.
Also, how do I fix it?
