Hi ,

I want to make a HFS volume readonly. I am setting the flag in mdb.drAtrb to

mdb.drAtrb | = 0x4000 ( As said in Inside Macintosh)

Bit Meaning 15 Set if th volume is Locked by Software.

After creating a Image of such a Volume. I am mounting it with a FreeWare application in Windows which can mount

HFS

volumes. But , I can still add files to that volume through this software and delete them too. That shows the volume is not Locked. So, anything else I should do to Volume parameters to make that Volume represent a ReadOnly one??

Waiting for ur Inputs.
