[QUOTE="Boybland, post: 1031896, member: 146141"] You should be able to use either one or both of the terminal commands. chown to take ownership. chmod to change the rights. If you google the two commands you will get many examples of the syntax and uses but it will be something like (memory is a bit fuzzy today). sudo chmod -R 777 /Volumes/HDDNAME/FOLDERNAME This command should give itself superuser status and then recursively set the rights on the specified location to read/write/excute for all users. If that fails you need to sudo chown it first but I can't remember the syntax and I am too lazy to check it. Best to google it first. [/QUOTE]
