This question already has an answer here:
Change owner of internal hard drive partition from root to user
5 answers
So I installed it on a dual-boot on my Main drive, with the intention of this space being for the os and a few programs as this is my SSD with less space. I went back later and used GParted to make another partition for stuff I want to install on ubuntu on another hard drive, I have done this, and now I'm back in Ubuntu but I can't do anything to the drive as the owner is root.
I've looked online for help with this but all I can find is how to edit individual files on a root drive. how do I permanently become the owner?
if relevant the file system type is ext3/ext4
partitioning permissions

Hopefully the following will answer your question:
Change owner of internal hard drive partition from root to user
It says:
If the partition is called party, your user is called cyrex and it is in /media just do for example:
sudo chown cyrex:cyrex /media/cyrex/party -R (The R is for recursive so it affects all directory/files and subdirectory.
This would help you locate your drive:
How can I list the hard drive and all its partitions including size from terminal?
It says:
If you have an MBR partition table:
sudo fdisk -l
For both GPT and MBR partition tables:
?
sudo parted -l

i used the command in the second link "lsblk" and got the mount point from the partition.
