Hey Guys,
I have more or less succesfully setup my Dual Boot of Windows 7 Ultimate and Debian 7 Wheezy on 2 HDD.
I have my OS running on /dev/sda which is a 120GB Samsung SSD 840 Pro series.
Whereas I run my SWAP partition on /dev/sdb(2) which is a WD 500GB Sata. I also run a NTFS partition for paginf files under Windows on it and my plan was to run /home and /var on it as well.
I guess, it screwed up in the last part.
The installation of such setup up was as following:
unplug /dev/sdb and only have the SSD.
1.5 Install Windows as usual, and leave space for debian
1.6 Install Debian without any other special configuration in the partition on the remaining /dev/sda space!
2. After installations, make sure both systems boot - check works
2.1 Go into Linux and start fdisk /dev/sdb to make some stuff on it. This includes creating a SWAP partition on /dev/sdb2, run mkswap etc, as it is written in the debian wiki
2.2 create a partition for /home and for /var (ext4)
Then I believe, it messed up, because I started to mount them. I wanted to do some aptitude afterwards, but I recognised, oops, /var is empty. So I unmounted it as well as and cp -r /var to my new /home
Afterwards I mounted my /var again and cp -r /home/var/* /var/
I guess, as I am writing this, I messed up the privilegeds and therefore I get a permission denied as ROOT ?
The way I recognised it, there where such messages during aptitude dist-upgrade and now:

Now, luckily I guess, I have not deleted /var or /home from the original installation which should still be on /dev/sda !
Does anyone know how to fix this ?
All the best,

EDIT:
I kinda figured it out, for now everything works again, but I am not too sure about the longterm solution here..
After a bit of research I found out, that I would need to grand the user man the rights in the man folder. As well as its sub directories, with the chmod of 775
