I have been working on this for nearly 24 hours straight...

Munched WinXP on a Dell Studio 1735 laptop.

Got Knoppix 5.1 to load live on a USB and transferred 200 GB from laptop HD to external HD. Did everything through Konq.

Need to get last 2 GB of data
In Konq when I highlgiht and drag from source to dest I get - Could Not Read Media "file name"
Went to console and did the following.
su root
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /media/sda3 -o force
Navigated to source folder and typed :
cp *.* /media/sda3/folder ("folder" is a real folder with a different name

This is the error that I get
cp: cannont open ."File Name" for reading: Permission denied

This is driving me nuts and really need the files in these last two directories.

They were hidden files in windows within hidden folders. I can drag and move then with Konq within the same drive but can not move accross to a different HD partition or external drive.

Any help will be appreciated.

You are better cloning the drive out.

First link of my signature refers. I must have moved my 5 MS Windows through 5 to 6 hard disk over the week end, migrating through 0.5, 1 and 1.5TB disks and back.
