[QUOTE="krissieleo, post: 866278, member: 107815"] Hi, could somebody please help me. I cannot write to my new hard drive. I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.11 and when I try to put files onto the hard disk it comes up with an error message saying "the item LG_EXT_HDD could not be moved because it cannot be modified" I have tried typing "chmod -R 700 /Volumes/LG_EXT_HDD" in terminal and it just comes up with this "chmod: /Volumes/LG_EXT_HDD/autorun.inf: Read-only file system chmod: /Volumes/LG_EXT_HDD/ICON.ico: Read-only file system chmod: /Volumes/LG_EXT_HDD/System Volume Information/MountPointManagerRemoteDatabase: Read-only file system chmod: /Volumes/LG_EXT_HDD/System Volume Information/_restore{A99C905F-E27F-4915-856B-5BB009DEA9CE}/RP1/change.log: Read-only file system chmod: /Volumes/LG_EXT_HDD/System Volume Information/_restore{A99C905F-E27F-4915-856B-5BB009DEA9CE}/RP1: Read-only file system chmod: /Volumes/LG_EXT_HDD/System Volume Information/_restore{A99C905F-E27F-4915-856B-5BB009DEA9CE}: Read-only file system chmod: /Volumes/LG_EXT_HDD/System Volume Information: Read-only file system chmod: /Volumes/LG_EXT_HDD: Read-only file system kristina-chapleos-computer:~ krissie$ sudo chmod a+wxr /Volumes/LG_EXT_HDD Password: chmod: /Volumes/LG_EXT_HDD: Read-only file system" when I use disk utility it will not let me change permissions. How can I change the permissions of my disk in terminal, does anybody know? I'd be really really grateful as I have run out of space on my laptop!!! Thanks, Krissie. [/QUOTE]
