I built a new PC with Vista x64 about a week ago and I haven't been able to write anything onto my WD 320GB external HDD.
I just get this message on everything;

What/how do I change the permissions in Vista?
This is important because my external HDD is used to back everything up.

EDIT:

I just right-clicked on the external HDD and went to properties > security where I found permissions. It seems my user is not permitted to write to the drive, but it doesn't allow me to change it!
