I am using knoppix, as windows is not working, now I want to format C drive, but before doing that I want to copy important files from C drive to D drive, but knoppix shows some error while trying to copy the files, the error is as follows:

Could not make directory /mnt/hda5/crappy

Right click on the drive icon and make it read/write from read only.
