    What format is the HD in? If it's NTFS, OSX can only read it's contents. There are applications out there that allow you to write onto an NTFS formatted hard-drive, one of which is Mac-Fuse (its not free though :().

    If the drive is formatted in FAT32, then you can freely read and write to it as you please in OSX.
