Knoppix not able to copy/paste

[jdblue23]

Hello everyone,

I've been searching the forums, and I cannot find this topic. I've downloaded the latest version of Knoppix version 7.5, and it's great I do have to say.

Here's my problem though. I remember from previous versions especially 6.2 when you wanted read/write permissions, you would just right click and untick the option. I can't find that option in the new version.

I just have eject for a USB and unmount. My 2TB HDD failed on me, so I took it to a repair man, and he said everything is gone. I knew it was there, but it was windows that wasn't recognizing it.

Therefore, I downloaded the latest version of Knoppix, loaded it up, plugged in my External, and it showed right up with all my files on it. I just get an input/output error on every file I try to move, even the smallest of documents.

I thought it might be that it's NTSF, and Knoppix prefers FAT32. That doesn't seem to be the case. I can view every file or video with Gnome with no problems. I am just unable to transfer them.

I apologize if anyone has asked this, and I appreciate the help tremendously in advance. Knoppix is wonderful, and I have watched it evolve over the years. Some people still don't know what it is when I mention it, so I always recommend it. Take care everyone.
