My recommendation open a terminal and use "sudo -i" to become root then 
try looking a5t the drive, it sounds like the owner is set to something 
diff from your user try "ls -l <path to files>" or just "ls -l <path to 
drive>" if the user and group are wrong try
chown -R <your user>.<your group> <path to drive>

hope that helps
