What does your fstab say (/etc/fstab)? Is the home partition mounted correctly?

What if you rename your .kde4 folder? Will that help?

I switched around the SATA cables with no changes.

I also researched the error message and tried in terminal-

"chown -R username.username /home/username/.kde" to no avail.

Is that correct? should it be .kde or .kde4?

+1,

please add the output of blkid, the content of /boot/grub/menu.lst, and /etc/passwd

/dev/sda1 on / type ext2 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
none on /tmp type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
gvfs-fuse-daemon on /root/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev)
/dev/sdb3 on /media/%WD-Backup type ext2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)
/dev/sdb1 on /media/%home type ext2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)


The home partition is being mounted in /media, so something's definitely not right with /etc/fstab.
