[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1645600, member: 46727"] If it preserved the old user name and login, then you didn't wipe the drive clean. The permissions and ownership are definitely messed up on that drive. Try doing a right click on your drive, get info, and check the permissions. You may have to wipe it again with Disk Utility from your Snow Leopard DVD and maybe do a one pass zero write over the entire drive. [/QUOTE]
