I have a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk external hard drive, which i've loaded movies, pictures, videos, and documents on to. I have only used up about 100GB of 1.5TB and for some reason when I plugged it in today it wont let me load anything onto it and if you click get info on it, it says you can only read. Any idea what changed or how to fix this?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.3), 13"

How? Using a Mac?
Have you tried NTFS-3G before? It is based on NTFS-3G open source NTFS driver that is ported into numerous platforms

on the external hard drives box it says that it's compatible with mac and as i said, it was working fine with my mac, i just dont know how the hard drives format changed randomly.
I go along with what Fane-j said. You should copy that data someplace and then format, in apple world erase, the drive back to Mac Extended (Journaled).
