woke up and there is another copy of my HD under my HD icon on desktop, was locked-I never copied my HD, WTF-some sort of “I hacked and copied everything you have” remnant calling card?
When I try and open it, it says
“The folder xxxxx can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents”

Update> can’t eject it either

A) Do a "Get Info" on it in Finder. Post the results (e.g. a screenshot showing all the item's info).


B) Type the following into a Terminal window, on a single line, followed by a space, but do NOT press the RETURN or ENTER key:
Code:
ls -ledO@

Then drag the icon for the mysterious HD over the Terminal window, and drop it. The Terminal window should expand the full pathname of the dropped item.

Now press RETURN.

Next, drag-select the output, then ⌘C it and paste it into a post on this thread, using CODE tags.
