did you choose "mass storage usb mode" in your N900?
if folders are not shown, they may have been made invisible, just go to advanced view settings in windows explorer and activate "show all data and folders".
Don't know the exact name of the checkbox, because I'm using a german windows.

The mass storage device mounted on a PC is /home/user/MyDocs, you can't get to /home/user (not /user/home btw) with your PC directly. Use the X Terminal if you really have to do it. Why do you need to do this anyway?

Cannot copy into the baseq3 folder as i do not have write rights.
I did an ls -l and its
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root
how to edit permission to let me write, i've tried normal linux commands i get "Operation not permitted" with chmod.

I need to copy some files into the /user/home folder.
When you plug it into a PC as a mass storage device those folders are not shown
I can get to it from the xterminal.
What is the easy way for a newbie to copy files from a Windows PC to the /home/user on the N900?
