I just bought a Seagate internal hard drive and an external case for roughly $130. The hardrive has 300 gbs on it and i have been using it for about a week.

Problem: When i go to overwrite files on the harddrive an error pops up that says the files are read only and that i am not alowed to alter them. It only happens on the school computers as i have tesed it out at wrk and it works fine. I have not been home and awake long enough to test it there. I would assume it has something to do with the way the computers at the school are set up but i don't know anyone else who has this problem.

-Thanks

What is happening is that the schools computers are probably set to read only. About the only thing you can do in this case, besides logging in as admin, is to erase the files at home and reupload them at school.
