[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1522059, member: 38928"] Sorry for all the questions but if you go into Disk Utility can you list all the formatting options you have on the erase tab? Have you installed any other software recently? Natively OSX can only read from NTFS drives (as you are seeing now). What I suspect has happened is that at some point you've installed an NTFS driver to give you write ability. Something has happened recently on your system that has removed or broken that facility. The trouble, as you can see, is tracking down what's changed [/QUOTE]
