can't copy, permissions problem

[mango88]

Hi

I have an external hard disk connected via firewire800 to a macpro running the latest version of snow lepoard in administrator mode.

I'm trying to copy files from the external hard drive (i can open the files no problem - have tested a few to be sure) to my macpro's hard drive (or another external drive - same problem) the screen shows the mac reading the files and then trying to transfer/copy them before a box pops up that read you dont have enough permissions.

i have run disk utility on both drives, repaired permissions, checked via cmd-i that have read/write and have made sure it applies to all enclosed files/folders.. but still no joy the same box pops up not correct permissions...

Thank you in advance for any help/suggestions

open up Terminal and copy paste this command.

ls -alOe /Volumes

Copy the output and paste back but it is likely the drive has a User Immutable flag set (uchg)

to put this right you will need to use Terminal again.

sudo chflags nouchg /Volumes/"name of drive"
