Creating directories owned by a specified user on SSD

[dsub42]

Hi I have just installed an SSD as a secondary hard drive and formatted as ext4. (the Ubuntu installation is on a different drive)

Im very new to linux, Could someone inform me how I would go about creating a directory on the SSD that is owned by the user 'Test user'

Im sorry if this is a daft question, im just moving from windows to linux and struggling a lot.

Any help would be appreciated

Welcome to the free world!

Just add a user to the system with that name, log in as him and create the directory.
The command ls -l will show you the contents of a directory along with the owner name.

Here is a good manual on Ubuntu:

for example in windows, lets say windows was installed on the c drive ... i want to create a directory on the g drive..

mountmanager is a nice tool ( into synaptic) to deal with partitions and devices

with ubuntu the partitions are identified as /dev/xxx, check them into a console with: fdisk -l

then with the file manager (nautilus) you can add dirs with the menu
