Obviously, I can't do anything with the great majority of the folders

terminal. But I can't use the terminal, because it sees nothing.
Catch-22.
"Sees nothing?"
Ascertain where those volume are mounted, first:
% df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
LABEL=Root10 35895684 15595092 20300592 44% /
tmpfs 1036540 0 1036540 0% /dev/shm

/dev/sdd3 11961344 1242680 10718664 11% /dar
(I chose "df" instead of the more obvious "mount" simply because the
output is easier to read, in my opinion.)
Even better readability is provided by df -h
(-h flag is for for "human readable"):
$ df -h

Presumably you'll recognize which of the file system shown there are the
two you're concerned with. You can then cd there, chmod or chown (-R)
to your hearts content (after becoming root, of course).
