How is the drive formatted? Right-click and Get Info on the drive to check.With my apologies for continuing this thread, I have a Maxtor One Touch 4 external HD. All files on this are read only and no more files can be added to the EHDD.
On the "Get Info" screen under sharing and Permissions is the message "You can only read". There is, however, no padlock and no way I can see to unlock the drive. Can you help?

That's my thinking, but as is the case too many times with first-time posters, chances are high that tonymce will never post again, so we'll never know.Most likely the drive is formatted as NTFS, which OSx can only read, not write unless you install extra software.
That's because you obviously had installed NTFS drivers on SL and you haven't done that yet on Lion.Hey so I have the same problem. I originally formatted my hard drive when I had snow leopard and now that I have lion and it will only allow me to read only. I can read/copy whatever I want on it but I can't add anything to the hand drive. It is formatted NTFS.
No, you'll need to buy it.I only have the 15 day trial so after that expires will I not be able to access the external hard drive anymore or can i permanently changed it through Tuxera?
