Planck Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 So, i got 10.5.4 up and running perfectly, but i can't copy or use files (music, movies) from my external usb hard drives. They are NTFS formatted and i use Paragon NTFS, and it works on the internal hard drives that are NTFS formatted. But when i try to copy a file from my usb drives it gives me a "You don't have anough permissions to do this" error. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this problem?

Planck Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 I've formated the drive to Mac OS X Extended (journaled), but the same things keep happening. I can browse the disk but when i select a file to open, i get the "you don't have permission to do this". After that the files disappear from finder and i have to restart the drive to get them to show again.

Planck Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 I think i solved the problem. My USB discs was connected through a USB hub to my computer, and when i bypassed it and connected the disc directly to the USB port on my computer it worked.
