I checked and I already have it install

Te duirectories that I need are empty, Im sure there are the files I need

8

If you can access the drive and the directories are empty why do you think there are files there?

9

Another thing the directories have a lock, I dont know why the partition doest have any password

10

Because you haven’t taken ownership of it yet…if I’m reading you right. :slight_smile:

EDIT: Have you rebooted lately?

11

Run this command first with the drive plugged in.

lsblk

Edit: Post the ouput

thanks for the help, but I made a test.
And the problem only happen when I try to copy directly the directories with the lock, but when I copy the files of the directory individually it works.
