Is it an NTFS hard drive ?
Then you need to install ntfs-3g.
It depends on your distribution how to do this.

Kind regards

The dekstop is a compaq presario 6000. The External is a Western Digital My Book 500g external hard drive. and i am running the most recent form of debian since none of my games work in Ubuntu. How do i know if my external is an NTFS?

Look at the output of the command mount, if it is mounted, it will tell you.

command mount? Ok mounted means i can see the files right? if so the thing just mounts and i have access the second i plug it in. I don't have to use any kind of command. If i am wrong please correct me? (this is foreign to me as i did not need to do all of this to run WoW in arch)

Plugin the drive, open a terminal and type

Code:

mount

It will show information about the mounted drives.
Post the output.

Kind regards

I personally think the OP needs to read something like the following: http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/
