It sounds like you've got an ntfs file system on the drive. You will only be able to write to it unless you format it as either fat 32 or a mac partition format.

Only around 150gb has been used. I connected to my macbook, but can't write to it. I've looked at the permissions which say I've only got read only access and there doesn't seem to be a way I can see to change this. Has anyone any ideas as to what I can do so I can start putting info from my Macbook on this drive?
