There's nothing more irritating than not being able to mount your other drives while your booted into your favorite distro.
This has happened twice on my Linux systems and thanks to our Guru suicidaleggroll there is a way to fix it.

I'll use my 3 systems as an example.
I've got Slackware, Voyager Linux and Gecko Linux (Open Suse) installed on 2 different drives on my desktop.
Long story short the id for Slackware and Voyager is 1000.
However after a fresh install of Gecko Linux the new id was 2001.
If I tried to copy or paste anything from Slackware while booted into Gecko Linux I was locked out and vice versa if I was booted into Slackware.
So I checked on the id's of all 3 systems and sure enough Slackware and Voyager had an id of 1000 but Gecko Linux had an id of 2001.
I solved it in tty with:
After running those cmd's one at a time as root I typed reboot.
Upon reboot I could copy and paste and mnt any drive I wanted to.
If you need help you can pm me.
Cheers,
