[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1330178"] I can fix that: 1. Select the mounted FAT32 drive by single-clicking on it. 2. Get Info (command-i) on the drive. 3. Scroll to the very bottom of the resulting information window and CHECK the little box next to "ignore permissions on this drive" As for your question about Lion, the answer is no, no, no. Do not mix accounts and permissions. You need to ERASE the hard drive and install Snow Leopard FROM SCRATCH, then upgrade to Lion. Buy a copy of Snow Leopard and use it to do a clean install. Then buy Lion. You don't have a legal copy of SL on that machine if you don't have the original discs, so you have to start there. [/QUOTE]
