I have a USB external hard drive that I use with my PC when I connect it to my iMac, however, I can only "read" the things on it but not "write" anything to it.

The hard disk works perfectly on a Windows machine.

What is going on?

The hard disc is probably formatted as NTFS.

You would have to format it as Fat32 to have Read/Write access from the Mac. Crying or Very sad
