Looks like your disk might be bit locked, one of those software phenomenons 8-)
Anyway, you need some utility/DA that'll let you unlock it.  I recall there was
a freeware DA called DiskLock(tm) (by Jeff Schulman) at sumex.aim.stanford.edu.
I don't know if it's there anymore but it's worth a check.  Sorry, I don't know 
the location of the bits to edit, though I'm sure there's many people out there 
who do.  ( Okay, let's hear it! 8-)

(and people, quit whining about the "slow" Sys7 release, `cuz next thing you'll
 be doing is whining about the "bugs"/"incompatiblities" in Sys7  8-)

See ya...
