For Windows it's right click the file, properties, then there is a check box for read only, it's it similar for max just uncheck the box

What OS (Operating System) you are running?

What version of OSX are you using?

See this if you aren't %100 sure: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1633

Are you unable to copy the file from the external hard drive? Or can you copy the file to your computer?

What error message are you seeing exactly?

In OSX you should be able to issue the command "sudo chmod 777 <file-name>" in a terminal which may work better after copying the file to your personal drive on the laptop.

Sounds as if your passport drive is formatted as NTFS, which is read-only on OS X. Several solutions to this common problem are listed here: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/apple-in-the-enterpris...
