[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1366157, member: 24098"] I'm not sure why you're having this issue, but I'll tell you what I did and hopefully this will give you some insight into how the process works. 1. Open Disk Utility and click the New Disk Image button 2. During the New Disk Image creation process, you should be able to choose both encryption level and whether the disk image is read/write: [IMG]http://content.screencast.com/users/cwa107/folders/Jing/media/3682c1cc-cdb1-42bb-82b3-44ccb9c99e34/00000287.png[/IMG] 3. Once the disk image creation is complete, it should create a new DMG file in the folder you specified 4. Open the DMG file. This is like inserting a disc into your drive, so you'll see it pop up as a new drive on the desktop. 5. Save a file to the drive 6. Open the file and make some changes. You should be able to save them. 7. Eject the disk by dragging it to the trash 8. The DMG file is secure. If you try to open it from another account, you should be prompted with a password. If you open it from your own account, it should open and mount with no problem and still be able to be read and written to. [/QUOTE]
