[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1626152, member: 46727"] The Toshiba external drive is formatted to NTFS which is a Windows proprietary file system that can be read by a Mac but not written to without a driver. Tuxera NTFS is a MacFuse driver supplied so that you can write to the drive. The problem with Tuxera is that it's buggy and causes file errors. What you need to do is copy what data you have on that drive to another drive (even Windows) and then re-format the Toshiba so it's using the Mac File system. You're probably going to need someone to help you with that. [/QUOTE]
