[QUOTE="pramaprow, post: 1521893, member: 269735"] Have a 2 TB external harddrive running on my MacBook Pro for the last six months and just yesterday it went from 'read+write' to 'read only'...can't figure out why, and can't recall doing anything different...it says it's formatted (now) to NTFS, but I don't remember what it was before (MS-DOS (FAT32?))...can't add or delete anything, and in the 'get info' window there's no options at the bottom of the window other than 'you can only read'...wondering if there's something I can do without springing for another unit (and having to copy almost 2 TB of data)...thank you...
