[QUOTE="MacBiter, post: 1949685, member: 421638"] That picture is too small for me to see the permissions clearly - however, whichever user you're getting that error message, you should change its permissions to be 'Read & Write'. You'll need an admin name and password to do that. By the way, the Owner of your main internal drive should be 'root', and the Group should be 'wheel'. One other thing - with a more modern OS the internal drive has two volumes : one for the System which is Read-only, and one for Data which should be Read-write. You're not trying to write to the System volume are you?. [/QUOTE]
