How to unlock disk?
Hi Everybody,

I have a G3 (i think, powermac 5500) connected to a LAN with a PC running 2K adv server with a UAM volume.

I am able to see files on the UAM volume from the Mac, but every time I try to upload a file to the volume, it tells me the disk is locked. I have set permissions on the PC to allow everyone full control of the UAM volume, so it should not be a problem on the PC side.

Anybody know what I need to do? I know more about PCs than Macs so any help would be appreciated.

The Mac is running OS 9

Are you logging in with an account that has admin rights?

Do you mean on the PC or the Mac?

The PC is set up so that anyone has full control (Read & Write) of the UAM volume, and I believe the user account I use to connect has Administrative rights (I'm at work now but I'll double-check when I get home). As far as rights level on the Mac, I'm clueless about how to even check that.

Well, I network my macs and PCs all the time and each OS gives me a different headache. So far 2k/XP and OSX play nice. I have had the best results making an account on each device that is the same, username/password & rights.

On OSX you would go into the System Preferences to the Users applet. You would be able to verify rights there no problem. Anything before that I am unfamiliar with.
