Need help with basics: copying and pasting folders..

[gsx8o]

In WinXP, a certain folder is inaccessible.
Attempt to access it, I used Knpx.
However, I could not copy and paste folders of the NTFS h.d.
(I'm guessing it's write-protected, but you guys should know.)
How can I do this with Knpx.?

Thanks.

All of the devices are write protected by default. Right-click the device, properties, third tab, uncheck "read only", OK, Right-click the device, unmount, then double-click the device.

For some reason I can't explain, you apparently have to unmount and then remount the drive after you make it writable, before the change "takes". That's the reason for the extra steps above.

sorry this method doesn't work.
(f.y.i.: i'm using Knpx 3.4 bootable ver.)

Considering you are using knoppix cdrom based.
Procedure:
1) open konsole --> type su <enter>
2) type passwd --> type any password you want
3) type mount /dev/hda* /mnt/hda* *what your ntfs partition is.
4) type chroot /mnt/hda*
5) open K menu-->system-->more programs--->File manager-super user mode. It will ask password. Enter the password you just created. You need to change the konqurer settings to file management.
6) Go /mnt/hda* or whatever your mount point is and copy and paste whatever you want.

Hope it will work.

Make sure you have write support for ntfs filesystem enabled . I'm not exactly sure how to do this (requires 2.6 kernel) as I don't use ntfs but you could you could screw up the ntfs drive without it.
