[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1926238, member: 396914"] OK, if you open Bob and go to the root of the drive, there should be four folders: /System, /Library, /Users, and /Applications. Like this: [ATTACH type="full"]37886[/ATTACH] My drive is named "Macintosh HD" where your's is Bob, but you should see these four. Then in Users is where you can write. Not to any of the others and not to the root of Bob, but to /Users. And in Users should be your account name when that was the boot drive, along with any other users you created. That area is read/write. What is happening, I think, is that the OS is smart enough to recognize that the drive is a boot drive and is merging "Bob" and "Bob-Data" into one icon, named "Bob" for you. But you cannot write directly to "Bob," you have to be in "Bob/Users" where your account is. You might even need to navigate to /Users/<<yourname>> to be able to write. [/QUOTE]
