Re: admin priv

I had a problem with permissions when I clean installed Snow Leopard on
my Mac Pro.

 

Despite using the same user name and password on re-installed system
disk, I could not write to the disks in the other bays. 

 

What worked for me was to change the top level permissions on the drives
manually. From memory, that was via get info on the top-level folders,
adding the user, changing permissions to read/write and then (from a
menu below) applying the change to all sub-files and folders. 

 

From then, I could see and write to the drives. It was pretty stressful,
though, and I found the advice from Apple support a bit hit-and-miss. I
eventually spoke to a very knowledgeable store genius whose advice
(above) worked well.

 

Regards,

Mike
