[QUOTE="louishen, post: 1351238, member: 40142"] It may be that you dont have permission to create an alias on the WD drives An alternative is to select the folder and hold down the command (cmd) and alt keys. Then drag the folder to the desktop - you should see an arrow appear on the folder icon as you drag. That will create an alias on the desktop of your mac, where you obviously have write permissions [/QUOTE]
