Recovery software typically compresses back up or recovery files in a proprietary file format that can only be written to or read by the recovery software. If my first thought is true that would explain why your Mac is treating the external drive as a read only drive.


That is exactly what it did.

Darn. Since we don't know exactly what iBoysoft did to the drive, I'd suggest contacting them to see how - if possible - you can recover it.
