How to copy a folder

[Dave_Bechtel]

1. Be root.
2. Make sure the USB drive is mounted R/W (' mount ')

Command line:
' cd /mnt/hda1/Documents and Settings/Alex/My Documents/ '
' cp -apRv . /mnt/ubb1 '

--See ' man cp ' for what the flags mean.

I want to copy a folder My Documents (/mnt/hda1/Documents and Settings/Alex/My Documents/) to my USB Drive (/mnt/ubb1)
but an error announced that I cound't make folder. What can I do?
