hello everyone...
recently i installed linux mint 17 cinnamon edition onto my hard drive, previously i used to use windows...
my hard drive was seperated into 2 parts: 80 GB and 240 GB...
i did leave the 240 GB partition as NTFS when i was installing linux mint, it was about more than 3 months
i have just formatted this 240 GB partition as ext4 using gparted and nowi got an error...
when i do right click > properties > permissons, i see this: the permissions of could not be determined
and i cant copy or open any single folder or file in that partition...
where have i done wrong? how can i fix it?
thank you very much

As step 1, double-check the format
That will also tell you the mount point
Take a look at the ownership:
(copy the actual mount point)
Code: Select all
inxi -p
Take a look at the ownership:
Code: Select all
ls -l /mountpoint
