It depends on your purposes, but with USB connection you come quickly to the limits anyway. Is a better solution than using VM or outsource to another drive. and if you have enough space on your internal - for making music it's much better to format a second partition there It causes less problems with permission rights and failed installations. However, in general i suggest you to make an installation like that with "Pacifist" for Mac. If your drive has taken over the access rights or not. Followed the steps outlined above (I did not use Batchmod but opted for terminal instead). Drag and drop your external again onto the window and look, Permissions of that drive should be corrected after chmod (change mode) with Bat. Have you tried reformatting the external? If not, try if that is possible.

If not, then your external is not bootable and therefore locked for system installations. When you formatted the external drive, did you check "GUID Partition table" in the option settings?

The error message refers to what? From where do you install ML? From an installation disc or an image?ĭo you get no access to the disc/image itself or does the installation process fail after the disc has started? Which Disc is now locked? Usually "Disc" means your CD-ROM, while "Disk" means a hard drive, but well.
Lagentesoft batchmod mac#
You want to install ML on a hopefully correctly formatted external drive - Mac Journaled, GUID partiton table. Sorry, if i ask you now a dumb question, but i am not at your place. Sometimes i understand things wrong, when reading in english language. O.K., i thought Lion was installed already on the external and afterwards the access was not possible. Any idea what the heckety heck to do now? I used Batchmod, (a darn handy program), and followed your suggestions, that worked, but when I try to install Mountain Lion I get "this disk is locked" message, so maybe it is to do with Disk Permissions, as you said. However, BatChmod can help, where disk utility fails. Which was installed on the second partition. Once i used disk utility of one OSX version for the permissions repair of another OSX, I suppose, your trouble might have something to do with the different systems permission rights I got no more access at all (even not to it's clone) and freaked out totally. Some time ago OSX didn't even let me take a look into the content of one of my external drives. If it's said, that the disc is locked, then it has something to do with permissions. Set both owner and group to: -.ĭrag and drop your external onto BatChmod and start the app. Check every mark, apart from "apply to contents",īecause then you may get access, but you can't use the installed system. In case you are afraid of using command lines: try BatChmod. Run the following two commands:Ĭhflags nouchg /Volumes/Macintosh /Volumes/"USB External"Ĭhmod 775 /Volumes/Macintosh /Volumes/"USB External" Does anyone have suggestions?Īlso is it normal that it takes “ sooooo loooooong” to boot with clover legacy? Like it takes several minutes before even seeing clover’s boot menu and then the whole loading up of MacOs take about 12mins just to show the first MacOS screen?!? I guess I am missing something cause with enoch and 10.13 it merely takes seconds to boot.Open Terminal.

When that screen shows up, the buttons at the bottom of the screen don’t work.

5- Used BatCHMOD because I am lazy (from lagentesoft) to change the permissions of the uncompressed files that copied over in those folders to 755 (except that I have noticed the files in the EFI partitions had all 777 permissions so I did the same for the files that I have added in there.Ħ- Then I installed Olarila’s High Sierra USB using:ħ- After Olarila USB’s reboot I booted MacOS using the USB again with the same settings as in #6Īnd now going through MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6 I get the following when trying to sign in into my itunes account (after entering my confirmed credentials):
