1TB Western Digital Drive and MacBook Pro

I just got a MacBook Pro yesterday. I moved all my files from my PC to a 1TB western digital hard drive. All of the files on the drive are read only on the MAC side but fine on the PC side. I can write to the drive from the MAC but the files instantly become readonly.

Can someone help me use this drive with my MAC and my PC.

i believe your 1TB drive is for PC which is NTFS format.

download a 3g-ntfs for your mac

I installed the new drivers and now I can't see the drive at all.
