My Mac Book Versus My PC formated External Drive Questions
I have a external hard drive question..
I got a external hard drive that was orginally used on my PC.. I got a new one for Christmas and now I want to use the *OLD* one for my Mac and brought it to the office When I plug it in to my mac it loads up fine but I can't transfer files just play them. I guess it's set to read only? Can change it from this Mac to turn read only off? is so how? or do I have to bring the harddrive home and change the read only settings from my pc? Please advise

copy the files to the MAC (or backup the removable drive in any preferred manner) reformat the drive using the MAC OS you should then be able to achive full functionality on the removable drive hope that helps .

MacFUSE is free and allows Mac to write to NTFS partitions. Also, if you decide to format for Mac there is a PC program called MacDrive.

if you were able to write on it previously from PC it's definitely not set to read-only.
Macs and NTFS don't play well together as far as i know. when you want to use any removable media on both Macs and PCs it recommended to format it with FAT32
