You can create a symlink for it in the ~/Desktop/ directory.
Something like :
(/mnt/your_hard_drive being the mount point of your hard drive)Code:cd ~/Desktop ln -s /mnt/your_hard_drive
would work well."To express yourself in freedom, you must die to everything of yesterday. From the 'old', you derive security; from the 'new', you gain the flow."

Having done that, how can I change the permissions of this link so that I can drag and drop files into it? I've noticed that there is a little padlock thing one the icon which has something to do with it.

You don't change permissions on a link. You change permissions on the original directory, or you change the mount options. A link is a link, nothing more.
