fresh intall of lion, now second partition locked

Hi,

so I did a fresh install on my now fairly old white MacBook 13" 2,1 Core2Duo, the one that only goes up to Lion, no newer OS.

Installation went fine, but after restarting I realised, that my secondary partition, the one with all my data and files on it, now has a small padlock symbol attached to it. I can't access it anymore. Sure, I tried repair permission, cmd i to change permissions and privileges, but nothing worked.

Actually in the cmd i window it would display "custom" privilege, and I can't change it to anything else. Also the "ignore ownership on this volume" didn't help.

What the heck is going on? Any Ideas?

What can I do unlock the drive/ partition, but honestly I have no idea what else I can do!

So hopefully someone here has an idea! Please do help!

Thanks!

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7)
