Can't write data on H.D.

Hi,

I can't write any data on any partition of my hard drive. When I try to, here is an alert:
"Disk is protected from writing. Remove safety switch or use another one."
(translated from Polish as I'm not fully English-speaking). I just can't save/edit anything on any partition of my HDD. This is my second disk, not the bootable one.

OS: MS Windows XP Pro
HD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB 32MB cache

Thanks for help!
