I recently bought a Macbook Pro and am having some difficulty figuring out permissions on an encrypted disk image. Here's my situation:
1. I partitioned an external hard drive into two parts: one is Mac OS Extended (Journaled), the other is FAT (for Windows stuff).
2. I created a password protected disk image on the Mac partition of the external hard drive and put private files in there.
3. After the disk image is mounted, I can access the files with no problem, but I can't delete them or move them around within the disk image or add additional files to the disk image.
When I check the info, it says I only have read permission and I don't see a way to change that. My question: is this disk image "fixed"? In other words, am I forever prevented from modifying anything within the encrypted disk image?
Thanks for your help!
