No idea regarding your slave drive (you provided no details), but you
can change it with sudo chown -R  and chmod -R but I recommend that you
provide some details before you attempt trying any of those commands.
You can seriously screw up your permissions if you are not careful &
then we'd have a very long (or short) thread depending on the outcome.

As for your converted alien file(s), here is the easiest for you perhap.
>From a terminal:

gksu nautilus

That will bring up nautilus in root mode. You can then browse to the
file(s) (home, your username/directory, then the location where the
files are located) and right-click. Select "Properties" and then
"Permissions". You can then change the owner to whatever your system allows.

Note: careful with that one as well... you are now in a root browser and
can change/delete, etc., any file on the system. So use some caution &
common sense when in that application.
