If you used to be able to read, write and execute on it then, the owner root, should have rwx, and r-x for the group members .. atleast to view it right, which is why you were trying 755 .. and as root, chmod 755 /mnt/macos .. didnt work ? I'm stumped .. So I hope someone with more experience than me jumps in soon 8)

I have that book too and it may not have enough in there on purpose ;) I did change the perms on my user partition and couldn't log in, playing with chmod .. taught me to it use with caution .. But to see the whole list type: info:/dir .. that'll get ya started.. -- RickS Registered Linux user #338463 Mdk 10.1 OE - Linux 2.6.8.1-12mdk @ http://counter.li.org ================================================================ gpg --recv-keys --keyserver www.keyserver.net 0x24AABE61
