You have the drive mounted read only (you gave us that much in a previous post)

I did not post back how to make the drive read/write, because you had not posted what type of drive it was and writing to a NTFS partition from Knoppix can corrupt the entire partition. Now we know it was an NTFS partition.

I would still suggest the other ideas I offered, such as writing the sata to CD or transfering it to another system across a network.
