I have macbook laptop....I bought this one a couple of years ago..
Since I need to maintain some stuff in hdd, I needed to boot from DVD,(which I got when I bought this notebook - Snow Leopard OS X installation DVD)
Once I booted, then I went to terminal..then when I checked my status by df..
/dev/MyMacHddXXX - it was mounted as read-only...

Is there anyway in this terminal I can change to read-write?

I tried to update it by "mount -u -w /dev/MyMacHddXXX", but it gave me the error message saying "Invalid Argument"..I don't think the syntax is incorrect...

What command am I supposed to use to set my main hdd drive to read-write in this terminal window?

Thanks,
