Import from external hard drive

[Craig16B6]

When trying to import files into Lightroom Classic 10.0 a window pops up saying files are unwritable. Camera Fuji XT-3.

Is it that the FOLDER is unwritable? What is the exact word-for-word error message?

What happens if you import using ADD and leave the photos on the external HD?

[Craig16B6]

The exact wording is "could not copy file to the destination folder because it is not writable" 

I get the same message when trying to import the same file from the memory card.

Maybe I corrupted it somehow.
