These are HFS+ formatted volumes, or ?
While logged into your administrator account, do a get info on the
volumes. Open the Ownership & Permissions section then the Details
area. Click on the padlock to unlock the settings. Then make sure
you're the owner and that you have Read+Write permissions. (Group and
Others' settings won't matter unless you're using a different account
from which to access the volumes.)
If that doesn't fix things, then show us the output of this command,
issued in Terminal:
ls -al /Volumes/
The firewired hard drive has the GUID partition.
Command+I shows that i have "Custom access". When I tried to change
those settings they revert to "Custom access". I ticked on the "Ignore
ownership on this volume" but still locked out.
I have never used "Terminal" because the name in itself strikes fear in
me because as you can see i can do damage to hard drives on my own: just
exactly what do i do to use Terminal, please?
