I tried that, and the disk was already unmounted, or it just didn't work. 
Then I tried booting into MacOS to change the startup disk, but that didn't 
work either.
So I still can't write to the Mac disk in MOL, meaning I can't save or do 
anything except read. Kinda takes the fun out of it all :-(

Another issue is I have two identical HD icons for the MacOS partition. 
What's up there, anyways?

thanks!

P. S. I don't know how my original post ended up under Christian's thread, I 
thought I was starting a new one! This list seems kinda quirky that way.
