I am new to Linux. Yesterday i have installed ubuntu 22.04 and during the partition I made "/personal" with 300GB space but after installation, it seems this drive is in root and I do not have read/write permission to this derive and I am unable to give permission to use other than root. Is there any way to move this partition to home or give full permission? Basically, i want to have windows drive systems like c, d,e drives.

That is default behaviour

You do a

sudo chown $USER:$USER /personal

($USER will magically be changed to the user you used to issue this command; the user needs to be your admin user; if you want another user than your admin user type the actual username instead of $USER)

and you own the partition. If you need more than 1 user change the 2nd $USER to a group those users all belong and all those users can use it.

Not possible. You could make a mountpoint with name c but that to most of use is a degression. We name our partitions with user friendly names. I would ask to get used to how things are done in Linux and I guarantee you will like it soon too :)

Everything in Linux also has a place something belongs to. If you want to mount fixed harddisks with windows partitions you do that in /mnt using /etc/fstab. Removables automatically mount in /media.
