Use the console/terminal to find out who owns the files and what permissions they are:
use cd to get to where it is mounted, i.e.
cd /media/mpc1k
Now list the contents in long format:
ls -l
This will give something like: (an example from my root directory)
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-06-28 19:38 opt
dr-xr-xr-x 139 root root 0 2008-07-09 20:17 proc
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 2008-06-29 21:38 root
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-07-03 21:24 sbin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-10-16 00:17 srv
the first bit are the permissions, then number of directories, then owner and group. Then filesize, data and the filename,
The important bits are the root root bits, indicating the root owner and root group and the permissions. If the files are owned by root, permissions may be set so only root can change them.
permissions are d=directory, then left to right rwx(owners permissions)rwx(group permissions)rwx(anyone else's permissions)
if it is drwxrwxrwx, then anyone can read, write and execute the directory, if it is something like drwx------, then only the owner can do anything, others cannot even view it.
You need to set your directories (and probably files to be owned by you and/or permission for you to read/write)
you can use the chown command to change the owner and chmod to adjust the permissions. If the file is owned by someone other than you then you will probably need to be root to carry out the chmod/chown commands. You could use sudo as ubunut seems to be keen on this, i.e.
sudo chmod 777 FILENAMES
Hopefully that makes some sort of sense. You might need to do a bit of digging for extra info on file permissions but this should give you a nudge in the right direction. hint google is your friend for learning about unix/linux systems.
