I spent an hour or more via a thread, PM and IM last night working on a very similar issue, which is still unresolved.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1174176
What is the format of the device? Using chown won't work on non-linux file systems as the permissions/ownership is set at the time the device is mounted.
In the thread I linked, it is a FAT32 My Book. After much searching, it appears that these devices get corrupted, especially with unclean unmounting. In almost every post I found, the only way to resolve the issue was to back up the data somewhere and then reformat the drive.
A better solution would be most welcome as there are a lot of posts of this nature throughout the internet support groups.
Back to Xorg...

Hi Bill,
Result ofcommand is as follows:Code:df
Code:charles@charles-desktop:~$ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 68025748 46869892 18391392 72% / tmpfs 513308 0 513308 0% /lib/init/rw varrun 513308 128 513180 1% /var/run varlock 513308 0 513308 0% /var/lock udev 513308 164 513144 1% /dev tmpfs 513308 120 513188 1% /dev/shm lrm 513308 2392 510916 1% /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/volatile /dev/sdb1 106095516 67547804 33158308 68% /home /dev/sda1 46082416 45471588 610828 99% /media/sda1
i'm getting the same issue, on all my external drives in any format.
wasn't like this before, it just "happened", maybe after the media was badly disconnected.
i hate to call for attention but i've been stuck for days now, and not getting any answers, here or elsewhere

help
Go to Terminal, copy & paste this command: gksudo nautilus
That will open Terminal as root, navigate to your new drive, Right Click, select the Permissions tab change the Owner drop-down menu to your name, Folder Access to Create & Delete Files, File Access to Read & Write, Group to your name, Folder Access to Create & Delete Files, File Access to Read & Write then click Apply Permissions To Enclosed Files.
You will now have full access to your drive.
thanks for your help, but it didn't work.
i get the following error when trying to change the owner, from the window which pops up after gksudo nautilus
Désolé, impossible de changer le propriétaire de « pocket_ » : Erreur lors de la définition du propriétaire : Système de fichiers accessible en lecture seulement
which translates as "impossible to the change the owner of "pocket" : error in the owner definition : file system is accessible as read-only only.
in the terminal, i get the following weirdness after typing gksudo nautilus :
