.... and did you make yourself the owner of the filesystem, usually there is a question on fs dialog window.

If you recursively chown the mount point to your user, it will have full access. The Ext4 will hold correct file permissions.

Root is the highest account in Linux, Unix and BSD

If you're able to use 'sudo' then you can get temporarily advanced permissions in order to do administrative tasks.

The mountpoint can be an UUID or just a title like plumtree, usually it's /media/<my_partition>.

The option would be:
sudo chown -R user:group /path/of/mountpoint

## Usually user and group are the username.

Basically a mountpoint can be any place you want.
e.g.
/mnt/data
/data
/media/data
/home/user/data

Thank you. Please tell which partition you'd like to access.

In the meantime I'll take this one as example.
/dev/sda5: UUID="d2477715-f9d7-406b-8a14-bb63d4d74e9c" TYPE="ext4"

First create a mountpoint.
Create an entry in fstab if you want the partition be mounted on system start.
Change the owner recursive.

## Example for /sda5. (Please replace 'blueberry' as you wish and without quotes)

sudo mkdir /media/blueberry

sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab-orig

gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

## This is an example entry.

# /dev/sda5
UUID=d2477715-f9d7-406b-8a14-bb63d4d74e9c /media/blueberry ext4 defaults 0 2

When finished save the file and refresh to introduce new mountpoints:
sudo mount -a

sudo chown -R maszter:maszter /media/<blueberry>

Open Nautilus (file manager), go to /media/<blueberry> and test if user maszter has access.

Try *sudo* (without stars).

Which partition you'd like to access to put files on it?

Seems you are only unable to access sda6 and sda7

is that correct?

yes

Then run:

sudo mkdir /media/sda6
sudo mkdir /media/sda7
sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media/sda6 -o rw,user
sudo mount /dev/sda7 /media/sda7 -o rw,user

You should now be able to access the data from the /media folder

HTH
