so an entire drive on my computer, i have only read access to. i can't delete or write files to it and not sure how this happened.

when i try to change the permissions on the drive i get an error saying the media is write protected and its pointing to a file on the drive. i can click continue but im not about to do that to every file on the drive. any ideas how to fix this?
 
Right-click on the drive -> Security -> Advanced -> Owner -> Edit -> Change owner to your account and check "replace owner on subcontainers and objects." This should take care of it in one go.
