Computer-smart types, a question. When I hook up my external hard drive to a pc in college, I am able to access all the files thereon, but not allowed to alter them in any way, or save to the drive. Reason being, as far as I can tell, the drive is recognised by said pcs as, well, a disk, much like the various other drives, C:\ etc. which, apart from my own student-allocated storage space, I, as a lowly insect without admin privileges, am not allowed to tamper with.

SO.

Is there a sneaky way around this, off the top of anyone's head? It's my damn external hard drive.

Yes. Um ... maybe.

See if you can get to the temp files (or the cache) and save them (a copy of them) from there. If the problem is the originals being copy-protected, the copies-that-are-open in the temp files shouldn't be ... ::crosses fingers::
