what's the error message when you try to copy?
you shouldn't get permission denied error when copying any files as root.

create a folder in /mnt/ called "win"

login as root

type the folowwing in a terminal

fdisk -l

this will giv u a list of drives installed

now use the comand

mount /dev/hd** /mnt/win

** will have to be replaced with the partiton u want to mount
eg hda6 or hdb5

now u will be able to access the win drive

now u can copy .. files
