I am very new to the OS so adhering the new things slowly but happily. My question is how to transfer folder from win7 NTFS partition to separate partition having ext4 file system? I tried copy but at the destination drive the paste doesn't get activate.

Edit: Here's what i got when typed in the terminal

~$ mount

/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)

proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

none on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)

none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)

none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)

udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755)

devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620)

tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,size=10%,mode=0755)

none on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,size=5242880)

none on /run/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)

/dev/sda5 on /home type ext4 (rw)

binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/ramesh/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=ramesh)

Let's step by step

For Example: If you have this scheme:

sda1 = Windows OS, NTFS folder containing the "myDataWin"

sda2 = OS Linux Ext4

sda3 = Ext4 (Partition for target data)

You must mount the NTFS partitions and Ext4, for this you must have root privileges.

mkdir /mnt/WindowsData /mnt/DataFinal

mount-t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/WindowsData

mount-t ext4 /dev/sda3 /mnt/DataFinal

Copy the folder myDataWin from the NTFS partition to Ext4 partition
```
cp -R /mnt/WindowsData/myDataWin /mnt/DataFinal
```

That's it.
