If the problem is recent, using System Restore may help.Select "Check now" under "Error checking" and only check the box to "Automatically fix file system errors." Don't check the box to scan for bad sectors. You can do this from the "Tools" tab of the Properties sheet. Depending on mount options chmod/chown will give you errors. The file is on a file system that does not support file ownership, such as (V)FAT. These place restrictions even on what root can do. This is obviously not the case if you were able to save a file from Notepad Possible reasons: You are running some security-enhanced Linux, such as SELinux. On the desktop, you will now see a NewFolderFix.reg shortcut. In the example below, file agatha.txt has been used as reference. You can use a file as reference and change the user and group ownership of a file based on the reference file in this manner: sudo chown -referencefile1.txt file2.txt. Set the same user and group ownership as a reference file.
Type NewFolderFix.reg (no quotes) as the file title, then save it on the desktop. sudo chown -R username:groupname directoryname.

Try creating a very small Notepad document and see if you can copy that to the external device.What happened to your system between the time that you were able to write to the external drive and now (e.g., power failure/surge, malware attack, used a registry cleaner or system tuneup utility, installed some software/Windows update, etc.)?.Do you get the exact same error message, i.e., "Destination Folder Access Denied - You need permission to perform this action"? If no, what is the complete text of your error message, without paraphrasing?.
