Another approach to my RO drive issue...

OK, so I've followed everyone's advice and I still can't get RW access to my
external USB hard drive. I think the issue is that the FS was created under
WinXP and is either NTFS of FAT32 (can't remember which) and that I don't
'own' the FS. So, here's another approach I'd like to take but am not sure
how: how do I force Ubuntu to format the external drive as a Linux fs and
take ownership of it?

FYI, the drive is at /mnt/sda5

Thanks in advance,
Anthony
