Answer:
Go to your disk utility program and use it to format the external HDD. Then you should be able to drag & drop.

good question. format your hard drive and select NTFS and DO NOT install the preset software that comes with your hdd. these are only for backup purposes, which you don't want to use. then start using it just like a normal hard disk drive. good luck
