[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1260596, member: 46727"] I don't believe you can set or change permissions from Linux. Your best bet may be to remove the hard drive and place it in a USB carrier. Install the new hard drive, reinstall OS X, and then attach your old hard drive to the iMac and extract the data. If you get a permissions denied error, you can change permissions to read and write from the Finder. [/QUOTE]
