Hard drive mounting and owner ship.

[TheNightPhoenix]

Hi

I brought in a hard drive to work to take home a project. However it does not mount in OSX.
I noticed this in disc utility

Owners Enabled : Yes
Can Turn Owners Off : Yes

All the other hard drives have owners off. I'm guessing my home suite is the owner and I need to change this setting to allow the drive to mount at work... any ideas how?

How are you connecting it and how is it formatted?

Its Mac extended.

Okay, you should be able to change the owner settings through the Get Info page (COMMAND-I when the disk is selected), obviously when the disk is mounted on your home computer.

Theres no way to disable this from work?


Was hoping to get the edit finished by monday.

If you have a mount point it's mounted:

Mount Point : /Volumes/My Book One

If you go there you can access it...

If you have a mount point it's mounted:

But... its not. It's not showing up anywhere in the Finder. I assume thats to do with the ownership issue. I was hoping someone whould know a way to do it through the terminal or such.
