[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1225419, member: 131855"] Before you format that USB drive. plug it into your Mac and do a Get Info command. I would check to see if it is formatted NTFS as thrustmw suggested but I suspect that the permissions are messed up on the drive. Look at the Haring and Permissions section of the Get Info window. You should see a line matching the name of your User account. That line should say Read/Write for your account. If it does not you will need to click the padlock and enter an admin password in order to make any changes. [/QUOTE]
