tina, thanks for offering your help. after i sent the email for help on the board i did a google search on the web and i found a really good article about thsi very problem. th eproblem actually is with having had Mac OS X installed on my ibook and then later i tried to uninstall OS X. there are still some files from OS X that are still there including the invisble file called "the volume settings folder". in the article it describedhow to use ResEdit and doing so you can unlock the invisible folder and make it visible. it worked. its my guess that anyone who has installed OS X and then tried to remove the OS X operating system could very well encounter this very same problem. thanks, david m
