Hello All,

My Acer Aspire One crashed a few months ago and just let it sit for a while until recently that I received a copy of Ultimate Boot CD from my brother-in-law.... So, here's the problem, how to I move stuff over that's on my Aspire One to an external hard drive? I've tried copy and paste, cut and paste, move... And the files just do not transfer over... What do I do?

Thank You.

What file system is formatted on the external HDD partition? Have you tried transferring using the CLI?

If the external drive is formatted NTFS, it has probably connected read only, as the NTFS driver can potentially corrupt the drive, so usually mounted that way as a precaution. You'll probably want to use some variant of:

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows -o rw

with /dev/sda1 and /mnt/windows set as appropriate for your situation. You'll also need to do that as root.
