custom privileges setting help!
Hi, I have a 2010 macmini running MAC OS 10.6.8. I am having some grief with an external drive (Home 136rv)I have been setting up as a media centre HDD.
I was attempting the setup the sharing for this drive so I could copy files (music+video) from eyetv through my MBP.
The problem seems to be only with the privileges on the external HDD.
I had setup sharing and and then went to 'apply to enclosed items' so all the files could be shared.
The next time I started the MacMini and mounted the drive all the privileges had been set to custom:
cmp (me)-custom
Staff-custom
everyone- custom
I've tried disk utilities and after ages and freezing twice it asked me to repair disk, which I did. However my access is still messed up.
I can't even open the HDD -message "The folder Home_136RV can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents
I have seen discussions on the use of terminal but haven't had any experience using this.
Where do I start to repair my HDD as there are lots of files, including are family videos
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
