The easy way out in Fedora...go to the start menu-->System tools-->file Manager-Superuser mode.
This will give you direct rights to mount and transfer any files from any partition, as long as it is mounted.
Remember, you mounted the drive a root, so it needs root privileges to access the drive.

You can assing your hard drive to be mountable by different groups in the fstab...for example:
/dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5 ext3 defaults,users 0 0
That line if added to your fstab will mount the /dev/hda5 drive automatically on boot up. It is configured for an ext3 system. It allows all "users" which is a group, to access the drive freely.
(I am at school at the moment so not sure if that is perfect syntax, but should get yuo going!)
