Cannot save to my external firewire hard

[Pismo-Bill]

Hope you can help,

I am having trouble saving anything to my external firewire hard drive. This started a few weeks ago. I am able to retrieve use but not modify any file on the drive. I have tried changing permissions but no luck.

Any help is welcome.

What OS?

My Pismo has the classic case of the CPU cache corrupting the data when it sleeps for very long and I have to restart once a day for it to work right. And this is a classic case if it were mine.

That said, have you done a 'Get info', and selected "Ignore Permissions on this volume"? this only applies if you are using Mac OS X.

If it were mine and neither of the above solutions worked, I would boot from the install disc and use Disk Utility to repair the startup volume. Better still, again if it were mine, I would use TechTool Pro to repair the directories.
