Yeah there is a software add on / plug in for the mac os to allow it to copy / write to an ntfs drive / file structure. Or you could reformat the drive as a fat 32 file structrure which would allow you to write to the drive from both mac and pc / windows based systems.

Here's a thought, could this harddrive possibly be formatted in nTFS? If so, that's probably why. I believe there is software you can get, so that you'll be able to write to NTFS formatted drives.
