Maybe the files in those folders are locked as well? Usually unchecking the locked thing works mighty fine.

 

[iMav]

The files within the folder are unlocked but I can't delete them either because the folder is locked (I have only read access).

 

[goobimama]

How about the permissions at the bottom? Unlock the permissions, make them read write for all users, and then uncheck the "locked" thing.

 

[iMav]

It just reads:

Sharing & Permissions:
You can only read. Get lost.

 

[goobimama]

What kind of Pen drive is this? Anything to do with NTFS? Cause in that case I guess the only option would be to reformat the pen drive (and then restore the data)

 

[iMav]

FART format.

GET LOST???????????????
why would it tell you to get lost?
I think your Pen drive is NTFS. Mac can only read but not write on a NTFS drive. Format it as FAT32 if you want Mac/Windows compatibility.

 

[iMav]

Arre baba it is not NTFS It is the FART 16 format.

Anyway, I guess I will have to boot into Linux now.

 

[cooldudie3]

I don't think Mac OSX can do FAT16...
Format it to FAT32 and you should be able to read.

What really happened to drgrudge(Ashwin)? I haven't noticed him and he isn't a mod anymore. Does anyone have the real reason?

 

[iMav]

OS X reads FAT 16. The files & folders were locked on both Linux & OS X. I was able to access them in Linux as I knew the command for accessing the drive via root user. So job well done. Only thing is, out of the 3 OSs I forgot where have I made the backup of the drive contents.

Guys, my uncle just returned from his world tour of the US; Europe & Australia. The 3G launch was a day before he left. According to him at all 3 places the iPhone 3G isn't good as far as the product quality (both hardware & software) is concerned. He met a lot of his colleagues who bought it and aren't happy with the device, they seem to encounter a lot of problems with it. Though the kind of problem is not known to me. But, that was the reason he decided not to purchase one for himself.

The first iPhone totally pwns the current one in terms of quality.

Array bhaiyyu. It is a pen drive. Just copy all the files again to your Mac desktop or wherever, and reformat it. Won't take more than 5 minutes.

I hope everybody had nice weekend.
Its time to change my desktop pc to imac. Well, I've decided to buy 20" 2.66 Ghz. I've two possible options one to buy from Atria Mall in Worli or one in Andheri (Techvantage or something). I've visited Worli store before. Any last minute suggestions. (Its not last minute but 4-5 days only).
