Copying to external gives "Could not make folder"

I just bought an external and quick formatted it in XP to NTFS. I'm trying to copy stuff inside, but it just gives "Could not make folder /media/Arda-2/Videos/."

I'm using dolphin. I have ntfs-3g and stuff, because I could read/write my other external from gnome/nautilus.

I've tried

Source code

 
1

sudo chown gary:gary -R /media/Arda-2
but that just gives me "invalid group: 'gary:gary'. I think it's possible due me using Arch.

I've had this problem everytime I use kde/dolphin and an external hard-drive. Is this a dolphin problem or a kde one? Is dolphin a good file manager in the first place?

Well, have you tried using GNOME/Nautilus to write to this particular drive? It doesn't sound like a permissions problem, but definitely check that. Try chmod 777 just for good measure (then make sure to change it back).
