ignore this-system won't let me delete it

I am attempting to upgrade Red Hat kernel 2.2 to 2.4.
-
I have downloaded several files to my vfat, "C" disk, and then started Linux and mounted my vfat to
/mnt/windows/temp/Linux-2.4.
-
When I try to copy any of these files over to a Linux directory I get: "KFM ERROR - Could not write file
/usr/src/linux-<filename> - Perhaps access denied"
-
Also, when I type "/bin/chmod go+w /mnt/windows/temp/Linux-2.4/<filename>" on any of the files in the vfat partition, the permissions do not change.
-
What the heck is wrong?

found answer-don't bother with this thread

Tried to delete this thread but system won't let me do it.
