[QUOTE="eric, post: 333342, member: 22327"] is the drive formatted NTFS or FAT32? OS X can read NTFS but cannot write/modify/delete files. OS X can have full control over files on a drive formatted FAT32 (or FAT16). if this is the problem, you have a couple options if you want to use it on a mac. - reformat the drive FAT32 for the greatest access by all operating systems. - format HFS and use a program on windows to access the mac format (the name of the program escapes me at the moment).
