It's nice to have this corrected.

It would be great if someone could add a description on how to make the
mounted partition accessable for the user, e.g. give user the rights to
use the partition. By default the program gives the rights only for the
root. After mounting a Windows partition I took a look at the settings
window of the Storage Device Manager (behind the Assistant button), but
couldn't figure out how to do this. Hopefully this can be done inside
the program and one doesn't need to use the command line. Ofcourse this
is also a usability issue in the program.
