I guess the glib answer is to compile it yourself, but you may not be
comfortable with doing that.

What file system is on the drive? If it's a Linux file system such as
ext3 or residerfs, then the problem is probably that the files on the
disk are owned by a different UID to your username. You can use chown to
change the ownership of the files (via sudo) but that will probably make
it unreadable on the machine that created it. You really need to make
sure your UIDs are the same on both machines and set the oenwership of
the files to the same UID.

If its a Winows file system such as NTFS, then you can specify a UID nad
UID in mount command or the fstab line. Here is the line from my fstab
which mounts my NTFS partition (should be all on one line, of course):

/dev/sda1	/windows/C	ntfs ro,users,gid=adm,umask=0002,nls=iso8859-1	0	0

The gid part means anyone in the adm group can access the files on the
partition.

Tony.
