Hi. I deleted the folder /drupal/files accidentally and now I
mkdir files
&
chmod 775 files -R
but Drupal's File System keeps saying the directory files is not writable.

Any idea on how to solve this?
Thanks

Please try chmod 777!

You'll probably find that chmod 775 is making the directory writable for yourself (ie. your user id). However Drupal will run under your webserver's id, which means the files directory will probably need world-writable permission to be writeable by Drupal (hence chmod 777).
