Thanks John - I am using Panther 10.3.9 - also - I am still experiencing the irregularity of not being able to put things in the trash - but needing to delete them immediately... - also on a completely different external FireWire drive - I got info on the entire drive itself ... And redid the permissions - and said copy to enclosed folders... - when I looked at one of the folders inside the drive - the permissions had NOT been changed! - I have run disk warrior and disk utilities - and they say no problems... - any ideas? -- Thanks - RevDave CoolCat at hosting4days.com [db-lists]
