You may need to seize ownership of the folders on this disk.
Click Start / Help, then look for help on "Ownership" to see
how it's done.

Hello

To take ownership of a file or folder.

Open Windows Explorer, locate the file or folder you want to take ownership
of.
Right-click the file or folder, click Properties, and then click the
Security tab.
Click Advanced, and then click the Owner tab.
In the Change owner to box, click the new owner
(Optional) To change the owner of all subcontainers and objects within the
tree, select the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects check box.

How do you know that it allows read only access to files if you can't write
any in the first place?
