Missing access rights to other partitions

Question

I have windows 7 dual boot with Ubuntu 12.04 installed in another partition

How can I edit my documents and copy files or create folders in my other three partitions partitions?

Trying to edit a doc I get

This doc can't be edited, possibly due to missing access rights. Do you want to edit a copy of the doc?

I used NTFS configuration tool to mount my drives

Thanks

Answer 2

Change the owner and group on the mountpoint.

Example:

$ df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1       441G  194G  225G  47% /discworld

and

discworld@schijfwereld:/$ ls -l /
drwxrwxr-x  11 discworld discworld  4096 Mar 29 22:15 discworld

I did this with a

sudo chown -R discworld:discworld /discworld

and all files belong to my Ubuntu account.
