I will try here since forum seems a little bit slow.

This is where i'm at.

To summary: My second harddrive nothibg can be written on it unless i make it as administrator. I tried using chat gpt but we just keep going in circles.

This is what happens when i try repairing the file system and create a new one.

"So here we are again, just going in circles: oskar@oskar-System-Product-Name:~$ sudo mount -o defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/sda1 /mnt/1tb mount: /mnt/1tb: wrong filesystem type, wrong flag, wrong superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper, or other error. dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call."

This happens everytime i do:

"sudo mkfs.ext4 -L 1tb /dev/sda1"

then:

"sudo mkdir -p /mnt/1tb
sudo mount -o defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/sda1 /mnt/1tb"

Edit: Me and chat gpt just going in circles and the harddrive doesnt want to have the rights as for installing anything. Just when i make the harddrive as administrator.
