[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1776872, member: 46727"] Unless the drive is somehow encrypted or uses special access software, it should not ask for your admin password each time you try to write to it. Try this: Right click on the drive when it's mounted, select "get info". Then at the bottom of the dialog, click on the small lock and enter your password. When the lock opens, select "Ignore ownership". That should do it. [/QUOTE]
