To be able to right to the drive as you, in /etc/fstab in the fourth
column, change the text to this:
defaults,uid=<uid to write>,gid=<gid to write>
To find out your user id, use the command
$ id <username>
This will output your username and uid, plus any groups you are a member
of. Change <uid to write> and <gid to write> to whichever ones you want.
Only this user will be able to write to the drive (or so I am to believe).
