Terminal & Ext. Drive Problem - Will Give 6 MO. FREE Web Hosting For Result

Thank you for reading this! I am having a problem with an external drive, which has pictures and files that I use and need! I figured terminal would be the easiest way to fix this, but if someone knows another way to fix it, feel free to suggest that. I am willing to give 6 months of free web hosting from my company to the person who gives me full direction and a working answer to my question.*
HISTORY: On my iMac G5 I use an external hard drive to store files and pictures, etc. This drive has two (2) partitions. I named one partition "Backup" and the other "The Drive". For some reason, unknown to me, my computer renamed "The Drive" to "The Drive 1". I have used this drive for quite some time with no problem at all, but then...
I needed to let someone else use the computer but did not want them to have access to the "The Drive 1" partition. So, I went into "Get Info" for this partition and selected "No Access". It worked fine, not able to access.
When I went to change the permissions back, this particular partition was not available. I saw the "Backup" partition but not "The Drive 1". I tried unplugging and plugging back in the external drive, but still only see the "Backup" partition. In "Disk Utility" I see both partitions, but the button "Verify/Repair Disk Permissions" are gray-ed out (not available). I called Apple's Wonderful Tech Support who went above and beyond to help me out with this issue, but they said it was not something they cover in support.
I am looking for someone with the skill of being able to use Terminal very well. I will provide all information needed to figure out a result to this issue.
In Terminal I was stuck after I typed "cd /Volumes" and "ls -l". I saw the "Backup" partition and "The Drive 1" partition. "Backup" had this "drwxrwxr-x" and "The Drive 1" had this "d---rwxr-x". I understand that "d" is directory and what "r" "w" and "x" mean, but I do not know how to fix it from here. Apple suggested to try "chmod 775 /TheDrive1" or "sudo chmod 775 /TheDrive1" but it only resulted in: "chmod: /TheDrive1: No such file or directory". Please figure something out, I need these files. Thank you. And also, if you know another way to fix this without terminal that is fine as well, i just assumed that it would be easiest this way.
Thanks again!
Thank you all so much!
*I will give the 6 months free as long as the answer is fully answered, and fixes my problem. If more than one person answers correctly, only the first will receive the hosting. Do not think this is a joke, I will give the hosting, but not if I get bad or incorrect information. Also, this "free hosting" will be for hosting through my company (HyperlinkMe.com) and not money for hosting of your choice. If I figure out the problem, I will try to post it as soon as possible. The web hosting package you recieve will be 1 gigabyte of disk space and 15 gigabytes of data transfer. This is limited to six months from day of setup, but can be extended by paying regular $9.95 monthly fee. Thanks again!

Yes it did work. It was a million times easier than I expected and I got a response a million times faster than I would have ever expected. Thank you soo soo much. This is amazing, a miracle... not to get to crazy now, but I truly thank you with so much thanks. Ok, I guess if you do not need any web hosting, I must repay you some how. So, if you need any help with a website, or any questions at all I would be more than willing to help.
Once again thank you! I called Apple twice and they went beyond support in trying to help me, but they said nope, we can't. So I came to the discussion forum this afternoon and in less than 2 hours I signed up, posted my question, got a response, and had my issue solved! Thank you so much. And please, please take me up on the offer to help, it is the least I can do.

  • Free web hosting for PHP Oracle 10g XE applications

    Hi guys
    I am a student currently completing my final year project of a BSc Information Systems / Computer Science programme. I am using PHP and Oracle 10g XE and I was hoping that someone could advise me on a good web hosting site for student applications that is available at no cost, since I can't afford to pay for hosting. It is important that I host my site because my university tutor (in the UK) needs to access my site and provide feedback at this point in the project. Any assistance will be very much appreciated.

    Just to let everyone know, i will do free hosting for students needing it for there projects, i will need an academic email address for corespodence, so thats a .edu or .ac.uk for example.
    I have just relaunched the website and slashed my prices, so starter packages are from 2.99 a month for oracle and php. www.phporaclehosting.com
    Any questions reply to this thread

    If whatever is wrong with your phone falls under the hardware warranty, Apple will replace your phone, with a refurbished unit, at no cost to you. Make an appointment at an Apple store.

    Leopard (10.5) is not available as a download or as a disk purchase from Apple.  You may find copies on e-bay for sale.
    If your iMac can accept Snow Leopard (10.6), a disk can be purchased from the Apple online store.

  • *OT* Free Web Hosting

    Does anybody know a free web hosting company with good
    bandwidth. I understand the idea of it being free means that it
    probably isn't that great, but i'm just wondering.

    T35 hosting has free hosting for a limited amount of bandwidth I'd Imagine.
    Alex Melen the owener of the Company Is my Friend and I think hes been doing a great job In still keeping T35 free.
    well,theres also a paid alternative but you can go for the free one if you so desire.
    I would however recommend you to go for a cheap package rather than a free one If you looking to host an Ecommerce website,If its a personal blog type of a website then the free alternative might work for you.
    A lot of hosting companies are listed on this website :http://www.webhosting-10.com
    you can check out reviews there.

    Any suggestions for good free web hosting service for my IWeb page, other than MobileMe?

    MobileMe is not free.
    Search : free webhosting
    You can narrow the results by being more specific by adding town, province or country.
    You can also start by checking out your own ISP.
    Or be free as in here : www.000webhost.com

  • Web Hosting for J2EE - Free All?

    I need J2EE Web Hosting (web server, database server,...) to store my site, require free all. Which does web site support it? Please help me!
    Thank!

    Free hosts are hard to find. Free JSP hosts are even harder to find. Java processes consume a lot of resources (mostly memory).
    Perhaps you could find a small group of friends willing to share the cost of a virtual private server account? If its for learning purposes, perhaps your employer may chip in.

  • Free web hosting?

    Hi everyone - I have read several of the help pages and searched all over for information on free space with BT and can't find a thing to help me. Some of you say it is free but I don't know how to access it. I have followed links and have been told that it is no longer free and it then directs me to the £5 a month using BT's web design software. We moved from Tiscali and I had a web site set up with the free space provided by them. Now I have a domain name and web pages but  no where to send them. I don't want to have to pay or to re-create the pages - life is too short. We have phone and broadband with BT - can anyone advise? Gloryb

    Thanks - but I've already looked at that and it took me to a pdf about BT Web Hosting - quick start. I don't need to create a web site as I have one already set up in Front Page. I have a domain name through 123 and I had it forwarded to our Tiscali free space. All I want to do is the same if possible. If I have missed something on your link then please let me know. I'll have another look after I've sent this reply. Any help would be gratefully received however. Ta Gloryb.
    A pdf file ?
    My link doesn't do that ! To be frank, my page is probably the best place for details about BTinternet webspace and how to get at it. Make sure you've gone to option 10 of my shortcuts.
    BTinternet webspace doesn't support Front Page extensions (if you were using any), but basic hosting is fine.
    All you need to do is alter the forwarding to BTinternet webspace, much like you do now to the Tiscali webspace. Obviously, you need to build your site onto btinternet webspace first
    My shortcuts do exactly what you are wishing to achieve as it happens
