Ok, I got a new external hard-drive to replace my smaller one, and i put all of my files on it. It is formatted NTFS, but i do have MacFuse installed with NTFS ad-on. I can read and write my windows partition(ntfs), but not my new external drive.
My permissions say i only have read access, but i have already wrote to it (300 gigs worth, 2 days ago). Can anyone help me out? Im lost.

Thanks!

EDIT, I've repaired permissions under disk utility with no luck.
EDIT X2- Im on a new Aluminum macbook 10.5.6 2.0 c2d 2gigs 160gb hd. Thanks again!

I appoligize for this, but i figured it out. I went into windows and mounted it, then ejected it from windows and it seems to have fixed the problem.

You can delete this thread, mods!

Thanks
