My macbook recently died and I am currently trying to figure out how to copy my data.
What I did was, I took out the hard drive, put it in an enclosure and plugged it in to my other laptop that runs linux.
The problem is, I cannot copy files from the hard drive due to file permissions. I tried to access the hard drive as root. But I still cannot copy files.
How do I remove file permissions from the harddrive?
