What version of Mac OS X are you running? HP seem to have all the current drivers (v 10.3) for this device available for Snow Leopard. There may be issues with earlier versions. Perhaps someone who has one of these units may be able to help. > My external HDD can be viewed on the mac, but cannot be edited, written over > or changed! > This s most likely because your external drive is probably formatted as NTFS. Current versions of Mac OS X can only read NTFS -formatted volumes, but cannot write to them without extra help. There are several shareware solutions to the problem available. If you Google "ntfs on mac os x" you will come up with some answers. You can also go to www.macupdate.com and search for "NTFS". One of the more popular choices (and free!) is MacFUSE, but there may be better options as well.
