That is because almost every linux distro will mark a mounted ntfs drive as read-only. And for good reason.

Yes. That second hard drive, the one you are writing to, format as ext3, fat32, etc, anything but ntfs. If you can't do that, (maybe it has important information on it?) burn onto CD, use a pen drive, or find another blank hard drive.
Basically, you need to work around writing to an ntfs drive in linux.

Yes, you can work with ntfs as read-only 
Is there a way to write to ntfs in linux? Well..... there is ALWAYS A.....A way. It would involve recompiling the kernel and including an experimental kernel module. Even then, I think you will just end up corrupting your disk.

Maybe. No, I don't think so.
Good luck. And feel fortunate that your data is still on your old hard drive in readable files.
