Can't create a folder on my newly created partition
If I have a partition: /dev/sda3 how do I take ownership so that I can create folders?
I tried:
sudo chown -R chris:chris /dev/sda3
sudo chmod -R 755 /dev/sda3
but when I right click within the folder 'Create new folder' is still greyed out?
Thanks for any assistance.

You can not read/write directly to block devices--/dev/sd? devices.
You need to format and mount partitions.
Ubuntu automounts most partions under the /media folder with a GUID mount point.

I have mounted the partition already. I want to copy data into the partition.

What is the mount point? Type mount from your command prompt, and if you have mounted the partition, it will say something like /dev/sda5 on /some/other/folder type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro) The /some/other/folder is where you need to change the permissions.

/dev/sda3 on /media/0c997a25-85ee-4190-8d14-daef8e29dea9 type ext2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks)

So i should try: Sudo chown -R chris:chris /media/0c997a25-85ee-4190-8d14-daef8e29dea9 sudo chmod -R 755 /media/0c997a25-85ee-4190-8d14-daef8e29dea9?

You need to access the partition from /media/0c997a25-85ee-4190-8d14-daef8e29dea9 It might appear as something nicer on your desktop.
