Just to check the obvious: is it mapped with the default (i.e., read-only!)
permissions, or did you open it up?

Argh. Ouch. That's probably part of the problem. Using the same username
on a different computer does *not* give your user account the same identity,
when we're talking about local machine accounts rather than domain/workgroup
accounts.
How *exactly* did you copy "the contents of this drive" across?
