![]() if a file refuse to lock or unlock in OS X there is nothing yo can do with it without booting into windows. ![]() I have no idea what's up with that or what exactly cases this. but sometimes (not all the time) some locked files from windows would absolutely refuse to unlock in OS X and some others wold refuse to lock! just as you are seeing. When i created a file in OS X and put it on a flash drive i could lock and unlock it without issues both in OS X and windows. I experimented a lot with them a while back with rather weird results. however, there seem to be differences in the way flags are set in HFS+ and FAT which lead to some very strange results which I don't understand. however, it does support some (but not all) unix flags including the unchangable flag that is set when you lock a file. Is the drive formatted FAT? if so the permissions are irrelevant as FAT does not understand unix permissions anyway.
