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.
My intuition is that incorrect ownerships and perms on that 2ndary drive
will come back to bite again in some way some time if I don't fix them now.
Does anyone know what the default ownerships and perms should be for a
2ndary internal SATA drive on a Leopard MacPro?

Now under leopard, under permissions, it still sees an "unknown"
account which is the previous Tiger owner and it doesn't allow any
writing/ deleting on the 2ndary drive. I know how to change the
permissions and ownership but don't know exactly which should be
listed.
The new Home acct name, System, Admin, Everyone etc. Usually there
is a cascading list of 2 or 3 but I can't remember what they should be.
Can anyone tell me?
Click on the drive's icon. Right click and select Get Info. At the
bottom of that window check the box for "Ignore ownership on this
volume." Voila!

The other option would be click the icon, then press command-I to "Get
Info." Then at the bottom of that window check the box for "Ignore
ownership on this volume."
