[QUOTE="MASTERforge, post: 338008, member: 27933"] Hi Everyone, I am enjoying my macbook pro but its giving me headaches as i am new to mac. I am trying to switch my data from an external HD to my Mac HD. I can copy it but I cant delete files on the external HD. I have looked at permissions and even though I am set as admin. The permissions for the external HD are read only. They are dimmed out so I cant change them at all. So I looked at my mac HD it says read & Write although this is dimmed out too. It also says something like administrator and below that is says system. I have no idea about this one? so far my mac experience has been good if a little confusing. I hope the forum can open my eyes a little.:bone: [/QUOTE]
