Hi, just found some of my old DVDs and thought I'd transfer the files off of them to my portable harddrive which is NTFS format. I normally use Paragon NTFS for Mac to read it/write it.

Problem is, when I transfer some of the files off of the DVD into my portable harddrive I can not rename them and they seem to be only in read only format even though they were transferred onto the NTFS format. However when I transfer them onto my desktop, they are read/writable. I have always been able to read/write files on my portable HDD with Paragon, so what gives?

[Edit] The problem seems to be mostly with folders, and not individual files (as far as I am aware) The files within them are still read/write-able
