A simple problem, asked and answered, more than once, just kept coming coming with talk about looking inside kexts and all sorts of non- sense solutions in search of an imaginary problem.

Re: Password protect?
Greetings Jeffery, Jeffery after you have created (formatted) the disk and mounted it on the desktop, highlight the disk and then do a get info. When the disk info window appears click on the Lock and enter your administrator name and password. At the bottom of the info window you will see a pain that says Sharing Permissions You will see the access that everyone has to that disk and you can make the changes that you feel necessary. Under the everyone name you will find a privilege of Write Only (Drop Box) and that is the setting you want.

I have been experiencing copy protection since the '80s. My experience so far has been this: - the copy protection is usually overcome by unlawful people (not allowed users); - the copy protection gets in the way of legit (allowed) users, creates troubles and piss them off. ;-) Just my 2 (euro)cents. :-) -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

hdiutil help
I'm trying to write a script that turns a zip file into a Windows-mountable ISO file, and my sticking point is the hdiutil command creating the disk image. hdiutil create image_name -format UDTO -srcfolder source-folder-path Works. It creates a .cdr (aka .iso) file with the contents of the source folder. However the resulting disk image is formatted with a HFS+ file system, so when you try to mount the .iso file on a wondws machine (or the disk made by burning it) Windows claims it's corrupted and unreadable. hdiutil has a -fs option allowing me to choose MS-DOS as the file system but trying that results in an error: mount_msdos: /dev/disk2 on /Volumes/TEST: Operation not permitted /sbin/mount failed with error 18176 However, it seems to continue to make the disk image. Anyone know why it' spitting out that error?

Multi-Port USB 2.0 PCI Card from Operator Headgap Systems
Item received quickly, installed easily, works great. Solved the problem I was having with my Verbatim USB drive on my MDD dual 1.25 GHz G4 (OS 10.4.11). Five external ports, one internal port. NEC chipset. Manufactured by SYBA. Only $24.77. Highly recommended.

Re: hdiutil help
It probably giving that error because Macs can't read MS-DOS. Can you use the -fs option for FAT or FAT32?
