Did you reformat those partitions or just change the filesystem type?
Assuming you formatted them to ext4, they'll only be writeable by root.
Simplest, and least secure, fix is to grant write permissions to all users:Replace <user> with your current user name and <partition> with the name of the subdirectory where the partition has been mounted e.g.If you want to do things properly (and more securely):<groupname> is usually, but not always, the same as your username. This will allow write access by the <username> you supply but deny it to all others except root
