i just switched from xp to ubuntu, but i have 1 terrabyte of things i would like to keep on my other hard drives and i would still like to be able to write to those hard drives, but when i go to drive>properties, permision, all the persmisions are set to read only and i im not able to modify them, is it possible to get this hard drives working again without erasing them?
