[QUOTE="macoverwin, post: 1537256, member: 264851"] I have macbook laptop....I bought this one a couple of years ago.. Since I need to maintain some stuff in hdd, I needed to boot from DVD,(which I got when I bought this notebook - Snow Leopard OS X installation DVD) Once I booted, then I went to terminal..then when I checked my status by df.. /dev/MyMacHddXXX - it was mounted as read-only... Is there anyway in this terminal I can change to read-write? I tried to update it by "mount -u -w /dev/MyMacHddXXX", but it gave me the error message saying "Invalid Argument"..I don't think the syntax is incorrect... What command am I supposed to use to set my main hdd drive to read-write in this terminal window? Thanks, [/QUOTE]
