[QUOTE="Mac.Man, post: 1298784, member: 210122"] I think this is the right Forum. I have a Western Digital 500GB external drive that is hooked to my Windows 7 machine. When I plug it into my iMac (OS X 10.7.1), I only have read permissions on the drive. The format of the drive is NTFS. The info of the drive under Permissions and Sharing says you can read only. Is there a way to change this? I bought a new Time Capsule drive for the iMac and thought I would cleanup the 500GB drive and copy the rest over to the Time Capsule to combine everything to one drive. I am fairly new to Mac's, so maybe I can't even change it. I figured i would ask the experts here. Thanks Rick Perry [/QUOTE]
