[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 912694, member: 24160"] Am guessing the external drive is formatted as NTFS from a windows machine. OS X can read but not write to NTFS without a 3rd party app. You'll need either NTFS 3g or Paragon's [URL="http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/"]NTFS for Mac OS X[/URL]. The first is free, the latter is not. I would recommend Paragon. You other option is to reformat the external to HFS+. This would of course cause all data currently on the drive to be lost, so make sure you back it up first. [/QUOTE]
