Greetings Inga ( + )!( + ) You should be able to correct the incorrect file information if you run the "Disk Utility" First select the disk in question and then select "First Aid" Next click on the button "Repair Disk Permissions" and as long at the file that was created when OS X was first installed everything should be corrected. You might want to run "Repair Disk Permissions"a least three (3) times because sometimes the first and second pass might uncover (repair) some items that that need to be passed over again before they are set to the correct status. If everything is not corrected then you might want to run the above procedure from the install disk.
