that's my fdisk -l

i made a partition when i installed, for 800gb ...i think that's the 1st one.sda1 i put the mount point as /data

is that wrong? because i can't cd into it.

Hi and Welcome !

How did you mount partition? Have you changed ownership of /data?
Execute this

id

Note down user_id and group_id.

su -
chown -R user_id:group_id /data

In case it doesn't work, post the output of df -h command here.

df -h

ok it doesn't recognise the partition is there, there should be another 800gb in another partition,
when i installed debian i went for the bare minimum, and i don't want to download gnome-volume-manager :P

when I installed debian i did a manual partition, i first put a primary partition of 800gb at the end of the disk, manually putting the mount point as /data am i allowed to do that?

and then for the other 200gb debian logically partitioned the rest for me.

/dev/sda1 is not mounted yet.
Execute this

su -
mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1  /data
ls /data
df -h

Check if it list correct size and contents in /data. Execute chown command to gain ownership.
