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.

findfs

FINDFS(8)						       System Administration							 FINDFS(8)

NAME

       findfs - find a filesystem by label or UUID

SYNOPSIS

       findfs NAME=value

DESCRIPTION

       findfs  will  search the block devices in the system looking for a filesystem or partition with specified tag. The currently supported tags
       are:

       LABEL=<label>
	      Specifies filesystem label.

       UUID=<uuid>
	      Specifies filesystem UUID.

       PARTUUID=<uuid>
	      Specifies partition UUID. This partition identifier is supported for example for GUID  Partition	Table (GPT) partition tables.

       PARTLABEL=<label>
	      Specifies partition label (name). The partition labels are supported for example for GUID Partition Table  (GPT)	or  MAC  partition
	      tables.

       If the filesystem or partition is found, the device name will be printed on stdout.

       The complete overview about filesystems and partitions you can get for example by

	      lsblk --fs

	      partx --show <disk>

	      blkid

EXIT STATUS

	      0      success
	      1      label or uuid cannot be found
	      2      usage error, wrong number of arguments or unknown option
