What do you mean with "access denied"? As a normal user you can't write to 
the partition because it is owned by root. I suggest you create a 
directory as root on the partition and change the ownership for your user 
ID. You can do it in a terminal with these commands:

sudo mkdir /media/sdb5/$USER
sudo chown $USER /media/sdb5/$USER

Maybe you need to modify the commands at the "sdb5" part depending where 
the partition is mounted.

Can you explain how you tried to put Intrepid on that partition?
