If the toshiba is an external (USB) drive, make sure it is properly formatted. By default, OSX can't write to NTFS (windows) formatted drives.

If the toshiba is an external (USB) drive, make sure it is properly formatted. By default, OSX can't write to NTFS (windows) formatted drives natively.

There are utilities to add that functionality.

There are utilities to add that functionality.

The ability is even built right into OSX for the past few versions but is disabled by default.
