I can't delete anything from my external hard drive...

[GSD]

I just plugged my external hard drive into my Windows Vista machine and noticed that the "delete" option is missing when I right click on a file or folder.

I'm guessing it's something to do with permissions but I am logged in as administrator and I've never had problems deleting stuff from it using this PC before.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you change OS from XP to Vista perhaps and the owner is associated with the XP user account still?

I just unplugged the external HDD and when I plugged it back in I was able to delete stuff again... Very odd, but it's fixed now nonetheless.

Thanks for your help.
