Man, I really need some help here...
So, I just hooked up this new WD Elite external drive to my MacBook, and I was actually pretty blindsided by the fact that it came with this WD Smartware software—my last WD drive didn't have any of that extra bloatware cluttering things up...

Once I finally got everything installed, I tried to just do the classic drag-and-drop thing to move all my files from the old drive over to the new one (had them both plugged in at the same time)...

But every single time I try, I just get hit with this same annoying error message: 'item could not be moved because My book cannot be modified' 🙄

Any ideas? Thanks for the help...

Which SanDisk Extreme?

My Book
or
My Passport

What file system is that old drive using?
When you say MacBook, you aren't talking about a MacBook Pro or a MacBook Air, right? Or...?
Which macOS is that MacBook running?
