HELP! Simple Drive says READ ONLY

Dec 8, 2010 11:15PM PST

My Simple Drive has over 397 GB of storage available yet it says my permission is "Read Only". How can I change this so I can add documents to it?

Now which Apple OS?

As Apple updated their OS they added write support for NTFS drives.

But let's skip all this. I'd ask this again in the Cnet Apple OS forum and don't spare the details.
