[QUOTE="cirdan, post: 1261235, member: 206312"] thanks for the replies. to be honest i probably should have been in touch with the shop a few days ago, but i wanted to try and sort something out myself, but as you say there is little point going round in circles. when you say permissions can be changed in finder, does that mean once the mac is booted up and running or can that be done in linux? because i cannot get the mac to boot on its own/from the macintosh hd. the only thing that works is when i run off a linux cd. if i can get the hard drive replaced and i get the current one back, as you say i can extract the data from it, will the files still be there/accessible? sorry for sounding a little vague its just that the mac has been fine for a few years, i haven't had to do anything with the mac since i have had it except to install some software. cheers [/QUOTE]
