[QUOTE="Chakotay, post: 1284672, member: 212061"] Hi there, Today I bought a Samsung M2 external hard drive. I want to use it to watch films on my Samsung TV, so I wanted to keep the drive in its original file system (it showed "NTFS-3G mac fuse" when first getinfo'd it). I have copied some files onto it and now I cannot delete anything from it upon connecting to my Mac. I getinfo'd it again, and it shows it is NTFS and now I only have right to read the drive. I wanted to re-format the drive to NTFS-3G (to be able to edit it again) but I don't have that option in the list in disk utility's volume format list any more (only MS-DOS FAT and 4 different Mac OS Extended formats, but no NTFS 3G). Please someone help me. I want the drive to be editable on my Mac and readable by the TV. I thought NTFS 3G is the solution, but it disappeared from my Macbook's disk utility after copying a couple of files. I puzzled :\ [/QUOTE]
