[QUOTE="pokeman89, post: 950696, member: 121289"] My windows machine died a while back, and I just found it in my closet an hour ago. I decided to put it in my mac since it could use some extra storage space. It is an ATA-133, but it works fine in the 100 port, I can access all files, but I cannot move or delete them. The original computer is totally parted out except for the fried processor and motherboard, so I cannot change it there. How do I change the permissions on the entire hard drive so I can delete files? I need to save about half of what's on there, but the other half is just taking up space. I DO NOT have enough room on the other hard drive to copy all the files I need (They are about $100-150 worth of iTunes movies, no redownloading :( as well as important documents and tax records) and btw, disk utility options to repair it are all grayed out.
