Matsobane is still having a problem:
Thanks guys....

gadolinio...I have used your suggestion: liveCD and gparted partition
editor.

I have shrinked the big partition that has /boot directory from 45.9GB to 6.7GB, which left me with 40GB of unallocated memory.
I then created a new partition out of that memory for data storage and formatted it to ext3, but the thing is: the partition is there but I can't create files and folders in there, it says I am not the owner but "root" is.

How do I change this permission?

Was formatting to ext3 the write thing to do?
