Hey everyone,

Please read my original post on this thread and them make your suggestions.
I've already tried most of the recommendations here with no success.

I don't mean to sound unappreciative, but if you look at the steps I've
already taken you'll be better able to help me.

Thank you!!!

The first several things you mentioned in that post are things you
shouldn't be trying to do in the first place.

Is there some reason you can't just upgrade to 10.3?

For that matter, you should be able to insert your 10.1 installation disk
and bring up Disk Utility to do a "repair permissions".

I've tried to upgrade to 10.2 but the installer won't run. I'm guessing it's
because the permissions are messed up.

I don't think the version of Disk Utility in 10.1 has the 'repair
premissions' option.

If the 10.2 installation disk won't boot, you have something else wrong
with your setup than just permissions on a volume that isn't even being
booted from.

IIRC, that wasn't available until 10.2.
