TokinDerrick Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 so I have my discs partitioned. and somehow during the installation of 10.4.5 (because it wasn't like this in 10.4.3) my second harddrive is set to "read only" so when I move something over to it, it asks for my admin password. any help as to make it both read and write?

macgirl Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 is not about read only, if it ask for your password it has to do with permissions. Maybe using Disk Utility to repair permission can help.

TokinDerrick Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 whenever I select my multimedia harddrive, the "repair permissions" is greyed out. I do the "repair disk" and it says everything is good. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12066-read-only/#findComment-76588 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackentangled Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 go to terminal, "sudo -s" (enter password) then "diskutil repairPermissions /" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12066-read-only/#findComment-77123 Share on other sites More sharing options...
