Read Only rights

I got a new computer and attached MyBookDuo Raid 0 via USB. The new computer can see it but it has read only rights. I’ve checked Windows and everything looks right. What am I missing?

You might try clearing the read-only attribute using Diskpart.

Run Command Prompt as an administrator, and enter the following commands one by one (press Enter after each command):
diskpart
list disk
select disk X (replace X with your drive’s actual number)
attributes disk clear readonly
exit

Thanks I’ll give it a try though when I look at the files they don’t have hidden or read only checked.
