iMac/3.06GHz/Snow Leopard
Upon restarting after the update was completed both external
FireWired drives came back on the desktop BUT both had a small lock
in the lower left hand corner of the drives icons.
Those two drives can not be opened because the message is that i
don't have permission to see the contents.
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/
