Can you post more details like:
[1] Do you have sudo permissions to root?
[2] Have you tried using the "Verify/Repair Permissions" in Disk Utiity?
[3] Full path names to these directories/partitions...something like /Volumes/<HD-name> & "ls -ld" o/p for the same.
To troubleshoot most such issues, you do not need to boot from a Boot CD. Finder is smart enough to help you take of this, since that is where you broke stuff from. Note that the exception to this is when you hose your boot disk.
Also, to troubleshoot a 10.4.11 issue, use a Tiger Boot CD instead of a Leopard CD.
I don't have a PB but am checking my options on my MBP. As such Tiger should be Tiger on both, so there shouldn't be any difference. But keep this in mind.
You could also get more help at other Mac sites like macosxhints, macfixit etc.
1. I have an "Admin" account set up with full access. How do I check to see if I have sudo perms to root? While logged in under the Admin account under Tiger, I typed "ls -ld" Terminal responded "drwxr-xr-x 15 admin staff 510 May 12 07:48 ."
When I used the same command after booting from the Leopard CD I got this: "drwxrwxrt 7 root admin 1024 May 13 03:50."
2. I tried using Disk Utility, and I verified and repaired disk successfully. However, the Verify/Repair Permission buttons are dimmed.
3. Full path names:
Computer name: REO-PB-G4:~ admin$
System Partition: /Volumes/OSX10.4
Data Parition: /Volumes/Rich_LTG4_Data
This is the result from Terminal when I use the mount command for the Data Partition: "/dev/disk0s5 on /Volumes/Rich_LTG4_Data (local, journaled)" When I try to change drive to the Data Partition, I get "Permission denied" That command only works if I boot from the cd.
I did get a response in the macosxhints forum. He told me to try "sudo chmod 1775 /Volumes/Data." When I tried it, Terminal responded "command not found."
To clarify - I need to make the Data partition permissions full access to all users.
Later today plan to get my Tiger CD from my safe deposit box.
Thanks.

Hardware:
IBM 300PL
32MB RAM
60Gig HDD
During the phase in SCO installation where I get to partition my hard disk, SCO only seems to see 8Gig out of the 60 that I have.
Does anyone out there know of a utility or what I need to do to make the the whole 60Gig available.

DISKTAB(5) BSD File Formats Manual DISKTAB(5)
NAME
disktab -- disk description file
SYNOPSIS
#include <disklabel.h>
DESCRIPTION
Disktab is a simple database which describes disk geometries and disk partition characteristics. It is used to initialize the disk label on
the disk. The format is patterned after the termcap(5) terminal data base. Entries in disktab consist of a number of `:'-separated fields.
The first field for each entry gives the names by which a disk's entry may be selected, separated by `|' characters. The last name given
should be a long name fully identifying the disk.
The optional fields for each entry are:
ID Type Description
ty str Type of disk (e.g. removable, winchester)
dt str Type of controller (e.g. SMD, ESDI, floppy)
ns num Number of sectors per track
nt num Number of tracks per cylinder
nc num Total number of cylinders on the disk
sc num Number of sectors per cylinder, ns*nt default
su num Number of sectors per unit, sc*nc default

sf bool Controller supports bad144-style bad sector forwarding
