[Helpdesk] need to borrow external firewire harddrive asap

[Vint Miller]

Ed,

Have you tried doing a "get info"  (select the desktop icon for the  
external drive and type "command i"). The is an option to change  
Ownership & Permissions near the bottom of the window which allows  
you to set Read, Read Write, No Access and Write Only for the  
selected volume.
