Hey, I recently moved from PC to Mac and plugged my 1.5Tb hard drive packed full of movies and music into my new iMac.
Everything plays great, but first I noticed it would not let me add artwork to any music. Then I realised I couldn't even save pictures onto it.
A quick 'Get Info' reveals my entire external hard-drive is 'read only' and there is no option to select otherwise. I checked disc utility and it will not let me repair permission either.
Just to clarify, this was formatted in Windows to Fat32; I am well aware that NTFS is read-only - but this Fat32 hard drive should work fine!
Last resort will be copying all my data onto other hard-drives and reformatting in a Mac format; but I'd rather get this working if possible..
Thanks!
