RE: Noob mac question
Think I've answered my own question - the USB2 drive is NTFS, whereas for
OSX I think it's best to be FAT32. Still odd that in the past it has
allowed read/write access though.
I guess the only way is to copy off all the important stuff (tricky, as I
don't have a drive big enough), and reformat to FAT32 or one of the native
Mac formats? Bit of a PITA, so far my Mac 'experience' hasn't been the
joyous experience I'd have hoped for. I know that NTFS is a Windows
format,
but why would it work one day, then refuse to work the next?

Doesn't work, all it shows is "you can only read", but there's no
tick-boxes
or other drop-down options...

Quicksolution:
Apple-I on the USB drive to get info, open the last section "Ownership
&
permission", and tick the "Ignore ownership on this volume".
Proper solution would be to set the ownership and permissions correctly
using Terminal and su to root to run chmod/chown/chgrp...
