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.
