HDD security Question
I think we do need a help forum just for me. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Right a company we deal with sends us external HDDs with seismic files on. So far we have only read the data but today when someone tried to write to them they weren't allowed. Now the disks are our property so we can do to them what we want.
I had a quick look at the properties and couldn't find a way of unlocking them, is there any where else I should be looking?

There are plenty more fish in the sea, get your tackle out and see what bites.
Divers go deeper and stay down for longer.

Solved.
The user was using a machine on which they have no admin rights and so are unable to write to mass storage devices. <!--emo&:rolleyes:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rolleyes.gif' /><!--endemo-->

What model is it? For example, on Seagate drives you can use some Seagate software:
