Please attach the drive to the computer and post the output of the following diagnostic commands ( replace "user" with your user name):
Code:
ls -l /media
mount -l
cat /etc/mtab
cat /etc/fstab
groups user
su
fdisk -l

Usually a sign of corrupted filesystems. Umount then try fsck or better chkdsk /f x: on a Win pc.
