 it works to get the /dev/hdg3 on my user name....
 but it seems I still can't get to write/modify anything in that partition!
 
 here is what I did, as root:
 chown -R nitto:nitto /dev/hdg3
 
 so, when I do:
 ls -l /dev/hdg*
 
 I get:
 brw-rw---- 1 root     disk     34, 0 Aug 10 20:11 /dev/hdg
 brw-rw---- 1 root     disk     34, 1 Aug 10 20:11 /dev/hdg1
 brw-rw---- 1 root     disk     34, 2 Aug 11 00:11 /dev/hdg2
 brw-rw---- 1nitto nitto 34, 3 Aug 11 00:11 /dev/hdg3
 brw-rw---- 1 root     root     34, 4 Aug 10 20:11 /dev/hdg4
 
 but I still can't write/modify to hdg3, which is where the /data partition is!
 
 cheers

 You want to change ownership of the mount point not the device.
   So if you mount the data partition to ~/data make sure you own the mount point.

 well no, not exactly
 just to be able to use the /dev/hdg3 as much as I like... like creating/modifying files and folders in it.
 The mount point is owned by the root, right? so how can I get the read/write rights to it?

          | feeling like a n**b... being a newbie and all
   
 suppose to "chown" the /data directory. whereas I was trying to "chown" the whole partition (ie /dev/hdg3)
 so, just for the record (to help anyone else who may have this problem)
 
 chown -R nitto:nitto /data
 
 a fair understanding of how Linux file system works (as oppose to windows!) is a good thing :->

          | ... which was what mzilikazi meant about changing the ownership of the mount point. If /dev/hdg3 is mounted on /data at that point, the "-R" option also chowns everything inside the mount point, i.e. /dev/hdg3. Knowing these commands can be very helpful when using linux.  |

          | still on that topic...: does it work with Linux notion to have the "/data" mount point named with a long folder name, such as "/My Documents" and put it on the "/home/user_name/Desktop" as a permanent fixture?

          | Well, to view the contents of a folder in kde you'll use konqueror. So you just need to create a launcher on your desktop that launches konqueror showing the contents of /data - something like "konqueror file:/data". And you can name the launcher "My Documents". I don't use kde and so cannot give you the proper konqueror command - I think there is a switch as a file browser and a web browser. In xfce, "thunar /data" works well. You can also install thunar. It's pretty cool. 
 You can also create a link file (like alias in windows) in your home folder, like:
 
 ln -s /data MyDocs
 
 So when you click MyDocs (which will show when you click on your "home" icon), /data opens.

 Instead of links and such, you could choose to mount any partition to any mount point.  See my example:
 
 Code: 
/dev/sda13      /home/mzilikazi/Music  reiserfs auto,rw,users        0       0
/dev/sdb1 /home/mzilikazi/cam   vfat    noauto,rw,users 0       0
 /dev/sda3       /home/mzilikazi/Photos  reiserfs        auto,rw,users   0      0
