My external Hard Drive is coming up as read only

I have a problem with my external hard drive, I can use it fine on my Vista at home (all that is on my External HD is photos, jpegs and Raws) I can delete, move and do pretty much anything normally at home but it wont let me do anything except open them on TAFE computer's which are Macs.
I did have a problem with them being read only on my Vista and it wouldnt even allow access for me to re format it, but somehow I managed to sort it out.

I have never had a problem with this on the Macs before.
When I get to TAFE computers it tells me the files are read only and I cant even save new data on the hard drive. This has happened to my old hard drive and also to my new one only recently. Plus it must be the drive settings or something because if at home I add new files, at TAFE it will be the same for the new files.

I tried at home doing all the things mentioned prior in another post such as changing the authority of ownership at home on my Vista, and changing the files so they arent read only (with the tick in the square) but with no success. I have no clue what to do.
Please if you have another idea.

Thanx Taz
