[QUOTE="EORI, post: 587061, member: 43203"] Did you reformat your external HD in native Mac format? If not, your HD will indeed be read only (if previously formatted in native PC format, NTFS). Transfer all of your files from the HD to your Mac, and then reformat the external HD. You can then put your data back on the HD, or use it with Time Machine as a backup. [/QUOTE]
