I just formatted my exterla usb to ext2 but once done I cannot create any files/folders or copy anything onto the drive? Is this a permissions problem? I tried chmod to 777 but that doesn't work. jason@spain ~ $ sudo blkid /dev/sdb1: UUID="c78c7fe0-6def-48d7-ab7a-78c371e55a27" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sdc1: UUID="10a56044-4866-482f-88da-358e0eb9acaf" TYPE="ext2" LA

I am now unable to mount my external USB hard drive in Ubuntu 8.10. When I try I get a "$MFTMirr does not match (record 0)." error. I can access the drive from windows XP. I also did the double windows boot, running chkdsk /f which did not solve the problem.

I did search on the error and do not understand the suggested fixes.

Running sudo blkid
