hey i quick google search gave me this answer https://askubuntu.com/questions/1408643 ... -ownership. no expert but you could live boot from the Linux mint usb installation media and from the driver manger in the start menu, select and delete the filesystem on that device and boot back to normal mode again and see if that could solve it. if that should not work you might need to replace it.
