Can't write to partion after creating it with GParted

  • 772

I have a 1000 gig Windows SATA HD.

I don't want to delete the Windows installation for case I will sell this hard drive with the PC it came with.

Using Gparted, on by Ubuntu 17.10 PC running from a SSD drive, I shrinked the 1000 SATA hard drive so the Windows in left untouched,

Created a 400 Gig partion EXT4

And I can't create Folder within this partition but can see it from the FileManager.

    As I can understand, your mount point is named BackUP.

    So you should take ownership of the filesystem with:

    sudo chown $USER:$USER -R /media/$USER/BackUP
