Hi.

You were on the right track with 'sudo nautilus'.  There was likely a
mistake with the options.

Go to your drive and open up the properties.  Then right click and choose permissions.  Make sure that you change
 * the owner to your user id.
 * the first Folder Access should be 'Create and Delete Files'
 * the first File Access should be 'Read and Write'
 * the group to your user id.
 * then remaining options don't matter.
 * Click on Apply Permissions to Enclosed Files.

If you are still having problems then please go to a terminal and type
in the command 'ls -l /media' and paste the output to this question.
