I recently switched from Windows 7 to elementary OS. I copied my important files from my Local Disk C to Local Disk D. I installed elementary OS in Local Disk C. After that I wanted to restore my Local Disk D files to Local Disk C in the root of my elementary partition but whenever I try to copy, it says that:
The folder "" cannot be copied because you do not have permissions to create it in the destination.
I'm new to Linux.
lsblk
result:
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 465.8G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 236.7G 0 part /
├─sda3 8:3 0 221.6G 0 part /media/trebz/36902D4A902D11C3
├─sda4 8:4 0 1K 0 part
└─sda5 8:5 0 7.5G 0 part [SWAP]
sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom
I'm going to copy it to sda1 from sda3. So I successfully copied it to my home directory but I want it in my file system drive.
lsblk
. Where did you want to copy the files to? Did you try copying to your home directory?
