I did read the several posts available here on "changing ownership of read-only file systems" but they don't seem to help me.
My external hard drive (which I had previously formatted in OS X and used on it for over a year) doesn't allow me to copy anything from/on to it FROM my Ubuntu 11.10
It says that the file system is read only when I try this:
sudo chown -R my-user-name /"Untitled 1"
Where "Untitled 1" is the name of the external hdd.
Any suggestions?
Even getting into nautilius with sudo nautilius to change the ownership didn't work.
(on a side note, what is nautilius anyway? I know I can google THAT)
What should I do now?

Remount the partition (or disc) but this time with
rw(read, write) settings. Should be something like this:sudo mount -o rw,remount /"Untitled 1"
