[X Newbies] Disk Utility/RESOLVED

[Mark Des Cotes]

I'm reading this tread late, but I though I'd mention something about 
the Find not finding any files with "disk" in them. A while back I had 
a similar instance with a friend in another city. I couldn't figure out 
why they weren't finding any files when I told them to search for 
"disk". I had originally set up their machine and knew that DU was on 
it. after racking my brain trying to figure out why they couldn't find 
ANY files with "disk" in the name I ask her how she spelled it. 
"D-I-S-C, just like on the CDs" she replied. After that revolution, I 
had her search for D-I-S-K, everything else went smoothly and I was 
able to walk her through repairing permissions in a few minutes.
