I need some major help with these things. First of all, my external hard drive is for some reason set to read only under mac OS X. Also, my flash drive will let me read and write, but I can't seem to delete things. I can do "move to trash" and the icon will disappear, but no space is freed. Please help me A.) Get my hard drive into read/write mode and B.) get my flash drive to properly delete items. Thanks!

EDIT: scratch that flash drive thing. But I still need help with my hard drive... Thanks. Didn't know that I actually had to empty the trash can for my flash drive's contents to be deleted....
