This isn't a Python question - it's a Windows question. I'll help as
best I can, but you might find better results elsewhere.

Is this a drive you've mounted across a network, or is it something
local to your computer? Is it a hard drive, a Flash drive (USB stick),
or some other device?

What are the mount options? (Typing 'mount' in a terminal might tell
you this.) Who owns the files and directories? Can you create stuff on
there using 'sudo'?
