Hello Loc24,

welcome at first

I don't really understand you problem but I will try to help you. You should explain it one more time with a bit more details .

Try to boot from your USB stick and open your file explorer (Menu -> Computer). You should see there your laptop hard disk. Than open this hard disk and go in the folder "home". Now go in your "USB-stick-home" and drag and drop the photos in the "laptop-harddisk-home".

So long

Ok some how i have placed the folder in to the root folder of the usb stick and everytime i try to move it its states this: Error while moving "files name". There was a error moving the file into /home/mint/Pictures/Photos. Show more details:
Error moving file: Permission denied

What command would i use to move this files from root to /home/mint/Pictures/Photos

Code: Select all

sudo mv "Path to your USB-stick root folder" /home/mint/Pictures/Photos

Of course you have to replace "Path to yuor USB-stick root folder" with the right directory. After you hacked this in you have to give your root password.
