Partition deleted by mistake

But can you save files in the drive now?
Try copying some file and pasting it into the drive.
If I understand this correctly, What the screenshot says is that although you cannot change permissions, since you are not the root, owner, group and others (which means all) can create and delete files (i.e. write permission).
So, you should be able to save files in the hard drive now.

Glad that your problem has been sorted

You can click "Thread Tools" (in red at the top) & choose "Mark this thread as solved".

Tip: When in the terminal, use Ctrl+Shift+C to copy (instead of Ctrl+C which is an interrupting command) & use Ctrl+Shift+V to pate.

Note: In Linux & Ubuntu everyday you learn something knew (of course it all depends on how much you use it & how much you are ready to learn).

I believe you can get or change the password by running a live CD but someone else will have to explain the exact procedure
