How do i Write to a SATA drive?

[fresch]

I Have successfully installed Leopard, and i can see everything on my sata drives.

But i have one problem.

 

I cant change anything on them.

When i right click the harddrive at press "Get Info" it says under premissions "You can only Read".

 

How do i change this?

Try using the enable folder operation option.

I just right clicked the Harddrive, Pressed "More", and then "Enable Folder Actions", but nothing changed.

I Still dont have premissions to change anything on the drive.

 

The Drive is a NTFS drive

Try this:

 

go to utilities of Leopard and open "Net info Manager"

 

Go to "users - root" and then select the first option with "*" and delete it

 

press enter to change your position line and close "Net info Manager" with "apple+q" key

 

select save changes and then in utilities open "terminal"

 

write "su" and press enter

 

now you need to put password to root but you haven't password associated, you need to press enter again

 

now you can define password for root user usign "passwd" command

 

go to root with "cd /" command

 

and do this command "chmod -R 777 *"

 

now you had enabeled root user and used it to change permissions on all files of your disk but attention when you change this permissions you are changing de default permissions that garant the security of Mac OS X.

You can't write to a NTFS partition in OS X without extra software (Such as MacFUSE)

 

Write support in most software is still experimental, so be sure you are not editing sensitive data.
