[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1005494, member: 46727"] Your post is somewhat confusing and it appears that at least some of the problems you're experiencing have been self inflicted. I suggest erasing the hard drive and then install Snow Leopard clean. After which you can attempt to do limited restoring from your Time Machine backup. Also, your MBP is not overly secure. There are certain files and folders that are system only and normally should not be accessed. The permissions problems you were having, as I said above, are likely to be self inflicted. That's why I think it's best to start over with a clean install. But that's up to you. Once you get the system running right, the external hard drive problem may go away. However, if you still can't access the drive, post back and we'll figure something out. Regards. Regards. [/QUOTE]
