I am new to Linux . Recently i am facing a problem. I've gotten Kali Linux setup on a USB and I have been trying to copy files to my HDD but I get the error : 

 cp: cannot create regular file '/media/root/OSDisk/Users/User/Documents/file.txt': No such file or directory

But copying from the drive works fine. My Linux kernel is 4.15.0. lsusb returns: 

 Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub hub Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub hub Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub hub Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub hub Bus 003 Device 005: ID 17ef:1004 Lenovo Integrated Webcam hub Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0781:558a SanDisk Corp.  hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0a5c:2145 Broadcom Corp.

    Kali Linux is not a supported distro, and this doesn't appear to be an Altair related issue. It's likely either permissions to the USB drive or it's out of space.
