I've got a new computer, and am running Windows 7. I'm trying to get rid of some stuff on my external hard drive, but everything that was put on there previously is write-protected for some reason. Why is this and how can I change it?
 
I can't delete files that I had written to the external drive when I was using it with my old computer and Windows XP. Trying to change the permissions results in a 'media is write-protected' error.
