This will take some terminal work. Find the full name of the folder holding this file (if it is a partion separate from your boot partition, this will start with /Volumes/...). Inventory X should be able to show you this. Start /Applications/Utilities/Terminal and type: cd "/Volumes/<rest of the name>" Be EXACT. Spelling, case, and spaces count! Include the " marks and substitute the rest of the name for <rest of the name> Once you've done that hit enter. Now type: ls -al and hit enter. Copy and paste everything that shows up and send it to us here. It will take a bit of detective work to determine the exact name of this folder (It only looks like it's called ".", the most likely suspect is that it's called ". " a period followed by a space.) Then we can give you the terminal command to safely delete it. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
