I can't add files to my Seagate FreeAgent external hard drive.
I just got a new portable hard drive, a Seagate FreeAgent 500 GB. I plugged it into my mac, and it says it can not be modified. Do I need to format it somehow before I can use it? Thanks!
Is this a good question?

But, what if I intend to use the drive on both Windows and Macs?

Hi I use my USB HDD on both PC and MAC just install this on your mac. You should be able to copy files to your USB HDD on the mac! and Read them on your PC:
