If I drag the file to the drive it says the drive can't be modified. If I get info on the permissions it says read only, I find on option to change to read/write. If it were my drive and a Mac format I guess I'd just do a CCC and initialize the drive and then CCC back and ad the new files. But since this is a 32FAT I'm afraid to do any thing like that as to maybe make the drive unusable.
