I guess it's set to read only? Can change it from this Mac to turn read only off? is so how? or do I have to bring the harddrive home and change the read only settings from my pc?

Please advise
Hi D, I believe that the hard drive that you used for your PC has to be reformatted to "Mac Journaled" before your Mac will recognize it as a read/write drive.
