I have plugged in my External drive to my MacBook Pro, and it's all fine when I open the files in it.. But as I try to transfer files to my hard drive, it won't transfer.. Instead it keeps denied and the same goes when I try to transfer some files to another persons hard drive.. How can I fix this??:confused:
 
Is that HDD formatted with NTFS? Check it out via selecting the HDD icon and pressing CMD+I and look under format.
