[QUOTE="cirdan, post: 1260493, member: 206312"] hi many thanks for the reply. i have ran linux from a cd, once it loaded to the home screen, i was able to see the macintosh hd, and the folders within, they all seem to be there. then i click on users i think and it has a folder with my name on. but when i try and open any of the folders/files within, namely movies/pictures etc... i get a message saying i don't have permission.. that's why i tried to go to the command screen because i read that you can change permissions there, but to be honest i don't really know what i am typing. or am i doing something wrong when using linux? should the files be accessible? i would rather try this way first before i even contemplate having any parts changed. cheers.
