Somehow, I got locked out of a few of my own drives on my main machine. I have several partitions of several drives on my main computer in Panther 10.3.2 first I had a few folders that had the red minus sign on them ... In an attempt to clean them and other things up ... I got info on the partition - then went to ownership and permissions and then said : read and write permission - then unchecked ignore ownership on this volume - which had been checked on a few drives for some reason... And apply to enclosed items... ! now - I am locked out of a few of my drives/partitions entirely! Now - when I get info on the drives/partitions that have this problem - all the permissions are grayed out!!! HELP - is there a way that I can get this information back? Is there a way I can restore the permissions? - - I have always had the same user name/password on this computer... - can I log in as root owner and fix things that way? If so ... How do I do this? - I Do have the ability to boot up in system 9.2.2 - and also I have a backup of Panther 10.3.2 On another drive - if that helps ... ! please let me know ! -- Thanks - RevDave Lists at domains4days.com [db-lists] Check out some great Domain Names at: http://www.domains4days.com
