Have you tried enabling "root" and booting up into it?
huh? What's the point of going to root? Exactly what is your thinking here?
Because it is more "Mac" than is Terminal. Fortunately, I've only had to
use it twice in the last 9 years.
If one is at home in Unix, then yes, I'd say use Terminal. However, I'm
not and Walter may not be, so I'd try using the root account to change
the permissions in the Get Info box of the drive, then log out of root
and back into my normal admin account.
However, Walter may prefer to use your Terminal procedure.
