in my other thread I looked at a gparted report. Well it had something related to this thread. In the report it is mentioned that file system type is ext4 but that the partition table is msdos. Does that matter.How should it be fixed if it does?

Okay, I spent the last thirty minutes copying all the files from the fat fomatted drive to a folder on the desktop. Then I formatted the drive to ext4. Now I can't drag the files back on to the USB drive. I suppose I could chmod -r 777 the drive but what is the right way to do it?
