Hello Chaps,
have a friend who has a Mac and gave him a USB external Hard Drive. When he plugs it into his USB port he can pull any data from it he needs but he cannot write to it??? So we took a look at the sharing permissions on his Mac and it won't give us the option to share it. Plug it into my Laptop - a windows XP one and select share and deselect write protect and try again - no better? Seems that his lappy simply will not hoist it on board.
Any of you kind fellows got any ideas why this might be? His Mac is fairly new - about a year old. The drive is a conventional Laptop hard drive formatted NTFS. The unit came with a driver disc which we haven't tried yet - XP didn't require it of course and we didn't think his Mac needed it since it recognises and pulls from it.......?
Heeeeeeeelp!
