Can't Copy Why?

[Loserkid]

Hi there I am still a bit new to linux but it is easy as time goes on. My problem is trying to get the SAM and System to a usb thumb drive. It always says "Could not write to /mnt/sda1/SAM". I don't know why this happens. I am using a IBM Thinkpad T42. If any one can help that will be sweet, with a step by step guide. Come on it's Christmas. Thank you all.
