free30 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Well I find Macdrive useful for editing bits and bobs in OS x86. But when things really go wrong and you can't shut down OS X, the diskpermisions or something becomes brocken. Macdrive takes the defencive and only allows you to read the disk. Letting the see the error but not able to change it. I guess it's due to files writen on the drive. Dose anyone know how to override this? or I guess if I boot OSX in -s mode, I could mount the drive and repair it, so dose anyone know the commands to do this? Sorry if this has been posted before but I did search. Version 6.1.3 is out as well. the english upgrade is here: http://download.mediafour.com/macdrive/mac..._enu_update.exe if you own the original CD verison. Anyway thanks everyone free30= Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19193-macdrive/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
free30 Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 OK. So I fix my disk, but the first question still stands, anyone? I fix the disk by starting with -s, "/sbin/mount -uw /", "diskutility repairpermissions /", um it got stuck there so I 'ctrl' C'ed out, then typed reboot. Guess I don't need all that maybe just "reboot" would have done it. free30 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19193-macdrive/#findComment-125903 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazubu Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 You don't even need to fix the disk (tho I strongly recommend it) you just have to switch of OSX properly. If you wanna do it in safe mode type "reboot" or "shutdown -h now" If you find a way to override this keep in mind that this could totally crush you partition Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19193-macdrive/#findComment-125912 Share on other sites More sharing options...
