I turned on my computer after I had reformatted the hard drive, and I won't mount. I was wondering what I could do.

Post the outputs of these commands from a terminal.

sudo fdisk -l
cat /etc/fstab
df -h

Here is what popped out.

Now that you've formatted it to ext3, just mount it from a terminal with

sudo mkdir /media/sdb1
sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1
df -h

I put the code into the terminal then tried to copy a couple music files into the hard drive, and it said that i did not have permission to do that since I am not the owner? What can I do for that?
