I'm trying to copy files from drives that won't boot in Win2k Pro with Knoppix 3.4. The drives themselves appear OK, and I can view all of the files. But when I try to move, copy or create new folders on the good drives, I just get errors that it is unable to write there.

I'd guess this is a permissions issue, I noticed in another post someone recommended using Ctrl+Alt F1-F4, and MC to get into another mode (can't remember which one now), that didn't work either.

Do I need to log in as root to get permission, or is this just something I can change in properties?
