John,
It sounds like there is a problem with writing to the drive. this happens if
the drive is ntfs. You can investigate this issue by finding the drive on the
desktop and pressing either vo-m m to bring up the shortcut menu for the drive
and pressing enter on the get info item (be warned, this can lock op your
system), or directly press command-i to get info.

I tried both methods and neither of them worked. Again I locked the machine up
and doing force quit to get out.
