Titel: How come I can't edit my Hard Drive?

I have an external USB hard drive and I am trying to delete files from it, but it says access denied. I tried using Konsole to log in as root and doing "rm filename" but it says it's read only and cannot be deleted. How can I log in as root from the Konquerer?

I even tried using Konsole to log in as root and loaded Konquerer from there but I still can't delete or add files to the external hard drive. I think root permission is not enough. How can I get more permission?

Okay I have figured out a solution with the help from other people.

The hard drive was in NTFS format because it was origjnally from Windows to transfer over files to my *nix box.
I had to reformat it into FAT32 so that it could safely be universally transferrable files.
The downside was all the files in the hard drive were deleted, but that wasn't the issue with me.
I just had to format it differently

Well I would have backed everything up (instead of losing files) and took a chance with ntfs-3g

Code:

apt-get update > apt-get install ntfs-3g

Code:

umount /dev/xdxx /media/xdxx ; mount -o silent,umask=0,no_def_opts,allow_other -t ntfs-3g /dev/xdxx /media/xdxx
