can't change permissions on second hard drive

the location is HD: /media/sdb1 folder is musica. The permissions for musica is root although I created it. I have tried gksudo nautalis to change permissions and it will not allow me.

error i get is 'the owner cannot be changed" error setting owner: Operation not permitted" I have tried a variety of suggestion from previous forum recommendations with same results.

Can anyone offer some suggestions.

Try changing the owner from the command line

sudo chmod -R username musica

And then possibly chmod the dir for good measure.

sudo chmod -R 755 musica

If that doesn't work how is the drive mounted? what is the output for that drive from the command mount ?

first command i got: invalid mode: `stan'

second command: cannot access `musica': No such file or directory

/dev/sdb1 on /media/sdb1 type vfat (rw,iocharset=utf8,umask=000)

securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

Does anyone have a solution for this?
