[QUOTE="Macman, post: 122219, member: 7132"] you might have to do it in pieces, but try selecting the system folder, click File>Get Info, in the info palette, under ownership & permissions, change it to read & write on everything, including details, under owner, change it to your username, then click apply to enclosed items, that should be it. if it doesn't work, go in and delete the contents one folder at a time, changing each folders permissions as you go along if necessary, after deleting all the contents, you should be able to delete the "system folder" folder, if none of that works, renaming the system folder should let you delete it after you change the owner.
