Could Not make Folder
I am new to knoppix. Trying to take files off a crashed SATA Hdd. I can see the files but i cannot copy them to a new SATA hdd. The error says: Could not make folder /mnt/sdb1/newfolder. I read a post where someone told a person that the read only option was on, but i cannot seem to find that. If anyone could help me that would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

If the disk is formatted with NTFA partitions then you cannot write to it. Transfer the files to another computer across a network, write them to a USB flash device, e-mail them to yourself, or do anything else you can think of but don't try to write to an NTFS partition.
If you have a FAT partition available, great. You can make it writeable in at least two ways. First is open a shell (command line interface) and type man mount to read about the mount command. I forget the exact syntax, but this is what I did the first time I had to make my FAT partition writeable. There is another way as well, as long as you have icons for the partitions on your desktop: Select the target partition icon and right click on it, then select actions ... from the pop-up menu. You can make a FAT partition writeable this way. DO NOT do this is you have NTFS partitions or if you don't know what type of partitions you have, you can completely corrupt an NTFS partition by writing to it in Linux.
