Question Red hat 9 root directory

Hello ,
I recently decided to change from Red hat 9 OS to Fedora 14 but I wanted to copy all the files in the root directory to my usb . every time I copy the file and move them to my usb folder I get an error windows with permission denied warning , although I'm the only user and I entered the root password ???

What to do , i really don't want to lose these files but I'm tired of manually mount CD's and USb's every time I want to run something on my computer Smilie

Any suggestion or solution please . I would really appreciate any help .

Best regards

Loly
