Transfer downloaded file from Linux to Windows

[firenice03]

The only thing I can see where it might be the problem --

pasted the file into the Windows drive

Depending where you pasted; if you pasted into a Windows dir (ie. Windows/system32 etc) it may have come down to permissions issue - you'd probably have better luck into your home(user) directory - although you may still need to do any coping from LL to Windows as the elevated account. Unless you have a separate directory/partition - ie. DATA that can be used between the 2 OS.


I would not copy or poke around in the Windows systems directory mounted from another OS - unless you know what your doing... ESPECIALLY as root..  Accidentally remove extensions or de-register file association or change permissions....   
Similarly could be an issue within the User directory but less likely to corrupt the OS.
Another potential - fast boot may be enabled, where Windows has that (C partition 'locked' and if I recall is unusable (cannot be written to)


As mentioned - could be software specific and something was lost when wrote and copied between the different file systems.. And sometimes the easiest is the simplest...


Just a plugged nickle and food for thought
