Sorry guys, probably the dumbest possible question, but I need to copy some files from my old system before I install Linux on it (Suse). Anyway, I booted from the Knoppix CD and tried to just copy the files to my USB drive. Just to make sure I made 2 partitions on the USB drive, one NTFS and one Ext3, but I can't copy to either of them. I gave user, group and others read and write rights to the drive, unchecked the 'read only' attribute and both partitions indeed show up as 'writable=YES'. However, when I try to drag the file to either of them, I still get a message 'Could not write to /mnt/sda5/outlook.pst'.
What am I missing here? Any ideas would be more than welcome. Thanks!

Take care, Albert.
