So, with the help of partitioner i make /dev/hdb1 (linux native), and i mount in /sw. After doing this, when i try to create a directroy inside /sw, the error message is "access denid /sw/soft" Where "soft" is the name of the directory that i want to create. Thanks for your time Marco Oliveira

You'd have to provide a little more information for us to help.
Assuming you have a new partition at hd? (hdb or hdc or what?)
Have you tried to mount the partition as root? Make a mount point in your root directory and then: mount /dev/hd?1 /<mount point>?
You normally can't do that as a user unless you do a lot of setup first. And the first thing would be to see if you can mount it as root.
