Yes, I know that but I need the files to be on the 2ndary drive (that's why it is there!) and it still leaves me with a 2ndary that has the wrong permissions and ownership. I'm trying to fix the problem and not just the present symptoms.

It's not complicated to do once I know what they should be. But googling the subject only brings up permission repair tools for repairing permissions on the primary drive. I don't think they would do the job if pointed at the 2ndary drive ... but I could be wrong...

Under Leopard, I am not sure what the primary account, system and possibly admin should be re: ownership and perms. I am pretty sure that "Everybody" would normally be read only.

Can someone with OS X (prefirably Leopard) do a Get Info on their 2ndary internal drive for me and tell me how the ownership and permissions are listed there?

Thanks for that info... but I really want to correct the ownership and permissions for the drive before I go forward ... not just have them ignored for the moment.

What I told you is correct. If you copy such files to someplace where these settings do matter you will find that OSX will change those settings for you. Or at least it did the last time I did this.
