[QUOTE="chscag, post: 718544, member: 46727"] If the drive is formatted as NTFS, it will be read only. Or, if you copied Windows files that are read only, the same error will result. If you want your external drive to be usable for both Windows and OS X, re-format it to FAT-32 if it is not already. As for read only Windows files, use the properties dialog from Explorer to remove the read only attribute before copying the files to the external drive. Regards. [/QUOTE]
