i bought a lacie 500 gig a few weeks ago and it seemed ok , i was backing up regularly and still am , it happily copies from the mac to the lacie

the weird thing is , it won't let me drag from the backup to my mac

i've tried repairing permissions , updating my username , everything i can think of

it keeps coming up with this white circle with a line through it whenever i drag files either from it to the desktop or inside the lacie - saying i don't have sufficient permissions

any ideas what i should do ??

Does it copy if you choose to temporarily ignore permissions on the volume?

i tried that , thanks

it still shows that weird white thing

even when i try copying inside the lacie disk !!??

i ran os-x optimiser , the lot

maybe it's a 10.4.7 and lacie driver clash ?

i restarted then logged back in and now it works

i looked at disk utility and under get info it said

Owners Enabled : Yes
Can Turn Owners Off : Yes

before it said NO

i wonder what it all meant ?
