[QUOTE="winklepicker, post: 827558, member: 94964"] It worked!!! Thanks so much dtravis 7. Now my last (and biggest drive) is unlocked!!! Now to reinstall all my operating system again on the main drive :( Really appreciate everyone's help with this. Just one last question - the thing that triggered this nightmare in the first place was just by trying to set privileges on each drive for another user on a macbook to access via a wireless network. Permissions were set - so it seemed - on each drive, but every folder and file inside the drive failed to set the same privileges. Even individual folders with the right user set wouldn't seem to take effect on each file enclosed within. So I ticked the dreaded "includes" check box on one folder, and this is how all my drives locked off one after the next. So how do I give a network user access to all files on a drive without having to set it file by file? [/QUOTE]
