file permission problem

[William Stephens]

Hello,

I have a usb drive with some files from a windows box.  I can't copy any
of the files over because I don't have the proper permissions.  I've
tried gksudo nautilus and then going to the drive to change permissions
but it still won't let me change the permissions on the files.  The
windows box is no longer windows only Ubuntu Dapper.  Am I screwed
without a windows machine or is there something I'm missing.
