Well. After lots of research, i downloaded Xray and BATchmod to see if either would help me with the "HD cannot be modified" problem I was having (i.e., lost permissions, privileges). Xray wouldn't open at all (error message appeared), but BATchmod DID THE TRICK!!!!! No more problem!!!!
Is there anything else I can do to check and clean up my drives/files/directories, etc., etc. in the good ole days (OS 8.5), I rebuilt the desktop from time to time but have no idea if that is even an option any more. Also via HD/APPS/UTILITIES/DISK UTILITY doesn't seem to provide access to functional disk utility (everything is grayed out)--why is that?
