Permissions?!?!

[Phate]

Hello all,

When I bought the Mac I put 3 hard drives from my old rig into this one. Now on one of the drives, I can see it in Windows and Mac OSX now I only have read only permissions to this drive for some reason

Can I change it without losing the data so I copy items to it and them copy them back to the Windows drive when in Windows?

Or can I change the permissions of the windows drive to add data to it to then use when in Windows?

Thanks all

It sounds like your drive is formatted in NTFS, which OS X cannot right to, can only read.

Only way you could sort it would be to re-format it into to FAT32, presuming that's the problem.

Correct, it is formatted in NTFS.

Ah ok, thanks mate.
