What file system is the new disk formatted to?
If it's NTFS (which is more than likely, if it's a modern external USB drive), ubuntu will only mount the disk as read-only because it doesn't yet fully support writing to NTFS out of the box.
Heh great minds and all that..If I hadn't have gone to make a tea I would have been there first.
On feisty (as he is running) the ntfs 3g stuff is available from the universe repository and works really well, it is still a little slow but I think this is just a side effect of being a FUSE mount.
