[QUOTE="geist, post: 1453046, member: 275193"] So I just did a big clean up on my hard drive of old files, and wanted to see how much space I now have left on my HD - I right-clicked on Macintosh HD > Get Info. Under Sharing & Permissions I noticed a strange User listed named "wheels". Afraid that someone had accessed my computer or was somehow sharing on my network, I went ahead like an idiot and deleted the "wheels" user without first researching what it was all about. Now I cannot boot, nor can I reinstall my OS because it says permission is denied. I really don't know what to do at this point, I am hoping that there is a command in terminal that can undo deleting wheel/system. I would very much appreciate the assistance, i'm starting to go a little batty. Thank you [/QUOTE]
