Input:output error

[ctlmd]

Well, I thought it was working, but it only allows reading of the hard drive when I try to copy a file to it. This disc is actually my old hard drive, and only minor modifications have since been made. mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/usbHD is the mount command I used.

Would you mind explaining with a bit more detail? When does this error occur? What filesystem type(s)? Hardware specs? Anything in the system logfiles?

Actually, I think I just found the problem. There were 2 entries in fstab, one with a 1 1 and a second with a 1 2. I just got rid of the 1 2 and it worked fine. I'm not sure how the 2 got there in the first place, but I guess it doesn't matter at this point.
