    Change your drive permissions

    sudo chmod 777 /media/YOURUSER/YOURSECONDARYDRIVE

    Then try to install your games again

    I had the same problem. I wanted my Steam games on another drive.
    I did a search on the net and there where lots of suggestions on how to take ownership, none of the worked for me. I didnt see the sugestion habios give (no one mentioned the 777 :/ ) so you might try that. If that doesnt work you might try this:

    I got it working after downloading nautilus file manager (for some reason I cant find how to open as root in deepin's file manager :/ )
    Make sure that the drive you want ownership on is mounted.
    open nautilus as root from the terminal with: gksudo nautilus.
    chose properties of the drive and then the tab "permissions".
    Find your login name in the list and change "owner"  and "group" to that.
