What do I wrong?
Probably this is a permissions issue, try it as root. Two ways:
1) in console, 'su' to become root, then mount your drive with 'mount -rw /dev/hdaXX'. Do your copy with 'cp <path><file> <path><file>'.
2) use Konqueror as root. Become root as above then start konqueror form the console (just type 'konqueror') . But sometimes this doesn't work so the other way is drag'n'drop copy the 'konqueror' icon from the start menu to the desktop then right click on it, select 'properties' and change the 'run application' line to read 'kdesu kfmclient <whatever it says>' so it will run as root. You will be asked for a root password when it starts up so set a root password with 'sudo passwd' before you try to run it.
