[QUOTE="cradom, post: 1616001, member: 305283"] If you want to try something, and it works, you can copy whatever you want using Finder to the external. In the /Users folder type: [B]sudo chown -R samms sammsousa[/B] This should change ownership of everything in the sammsousa folder to samms letting you do everything in Finder because you now own everything in there as samms.
