Can't change permissions

Well basically, i found some software which can sort your videos and
rename them properly according to imdb blah blah blah not important, and
there's a feature that will sort the files into their own folders. i.e
make a new folder named after the file and move the file in to it.

but it stopped working, and i've got it into my head that it's to do
with permissions. i dont have modify rights of the folder that the
videos are stored in and when i try to change it to let me modify it
says access denied. but some of the folders inside that folder have
modify allowed and others don't. this is on an external drive, but i can
sort the files into folders when the files are on my laptop.

can anyone help?

oh and ive tried running the prpgram as admin

The account has full admin rights.

The admin account that Vista gives you out of the box doesn't have full
admin rights in some cases.
