my windows XP Pro machine crashed the other day when i was deleting some spyware. somehow it messed up the MBR and the boot partition, i now have that fixed so the i can get grub and RedHat but when i go into windows it says it is missing a hal.dill file so now i have to use my XP disk to restore the file but in doing so there is a risk of deleting all of my data. . . . so what i want to do is backup all of my data to my other HDD the one that is dedicated to linux just incase something goes wrong.
The problem is that when i go to copy anything from hda1 which is my NTFS drive i get this error

You do not have enough permissions to read file:/mnt/hda1/Documents and Settings/All Users/Desktop
(^ ^ or whatever file i am trying to copy ^ ^)

How do i get around this on the icon it has a little lock in the left hand corner . . . what do i do
i have already tried to change the permissions on that particular file but it gives me another error saying

"Could not change permissions for /mnt/hda1/Documents and Settings/Josh/Desktop"
