Hello,
I have a bit of an issue. I have a small USB drive that I've managed to
reformat using GParted in EXT3. The drive will mount on my desktop just
fine and will let me click open the icon for my drive but that's where
it stops. I've been completely unable to copy files to it or even copy
the "lost+found" icon from it. The error I get copying from it is that I
do not have permissions to read it and copying to it I get something
like permission denied. I have been able to take the drive to a Windows
PC and I can "see" the drive in the disk management console as well as
the device manager. I've also tried to reformat the drive but I get the
same results. Perhaps I'm missing something here? Any help in this
matter would be greatly appreciated! Thank you kindly.
