What are you trying to copy & paste?
To copy from the internal drive to an external drive you can open two finder windows, one for the internal drive and one for the external drive, then drag & drop the content that you wish copied. This will copy the content and not have effect on the original.
I can't copy ANY files from my Macbook to my External Drive. I think it is because of the NTFS Format of the External Drive. I tried installing NTFS-3G Drivers but it just gave me an error on my system. External Drive wont mount anymore. So I removed NTFS-3G and MacFuse.
Any Good and easy solution on this?
Thanks Anyway!
Use Disk Utility on your Mac to format the drive for use with a Mac.
