    how to make all drives fully accessible for user?

    I mean all hard drives, including the windows (ntfs/fat32) drives.

    how can I run KDE in root mode? I mean not just performing some particular tasks as root, but working as root with this GI

    The most common option is to mount them with extended permissions with the 'umask' option (read permissions for all users for ntfs, and read/write for fat32)...I posted fstab options for ntfs on your other thread:

    Although it's possible to run kde as root, this is disabled by default (and for a good reason)...and not recommended.
    There is nothing you can't do with 'sudo' (to run command line programs as root) or 'kdesu' (to run GUI apps as root)...you can even get a root terminal with a command like 'sudo -s'.

    More info on the usage of sudo and the root account can be found here:
