What file system are those disks formatted with?
Things to check:
- what are the permissions of the files/directories you try to
write to?
- is the whole disk perhaps mounted read only?
You may get some hints from the error message when you try the
write or from the log files, e.g. /var/log/messages (at mount
time).

Difficult to say without more hints.
