Jim, I would suggest that you re format the drive before using it on your mac. Try formatting it as a fat 32 or if you only use it on a mac, a mac file structure. I'm assuming that you have a drive formatted as an ntfs file structure. Macs osx will read from ntfs but don't write to them.

The reason I have mine as ntfs and for me the reason I use ntfs3g and macfuse is I have 2 different machines both of wich need to access the drive. sure I could get macdrive but why pay 50 bucks if I can access the same content for free? S On Sep 20, 2010, at 4:39 PM, Mike Arrigo wrote:
