Maybe you can copy everything off of it, format it, then try again.  Or that might be a bad idea since you might not be able to get the stuff back on even after you format it.

I sometimes had that issue, go to terminal and type in sudo nautilus and then try again with the new window that popped up, or try changing the permissions of the drive.

sudo nautilus is running as root, super user, which gives you by default more permissions (I'm thinking your on linux because nautilus is the gnome file browser?)

Yeah, try running nautilus a root (fire up a terminal and type sudo nautilus) and try again.

get out a live cd/usb and test it with that.

usually, the cause of a problem like that is either a permissions issue (like people mentioned above), or because you don't have the right libraries installed for that file system (although, with ubuntu, that doesn't seem likely).
