Is your windows drive mounted with read-write support? Which filesystem does it use?

| what is your windows partition's file system? (FAT or NTFS?). If it's FAT, just mount your windows partition and copy directly on it. |

How do you have support? Many methods to mount NTFS are read-only or at least read-only by default. I would suggest the captive drivers (emerge captive) & explicitly setting the partition rw in your fstab.
But what you REALLY might want to do is to make a FAT partition, as write support from Linux is MUCH better.

To solve this without creating a fat partition, mount the ntfs partition as root and copy the data as root.
This works. But you should know, that copying to ntfs from linux is still not fully supported and might destroy your ntfs partition. |

I already know I have the support and it works because I copied the music from windows to linux. Also, I was root when I tried this and it didn't work...

When you copy from windows to linux, you're reading from the NTFS partition and writing to your Linux one. You now want to go the other way, reading from Linux partition and writing to the NTFS one. As has been said twice above, NTFS can't be written to with the normal linux kernel drivers. To write to NTFS, you have to use NTFS captive; the usage instructions are above.
Note to would be pedants  : Yes, I do know that it's not strictly true that you have to use NTFS captive. But why confuse someone even further?

Or convert (reinstall) the windows partition with fat32. If you only use it for games than it should be fine... Another solution is a sharing partition formated in fat32. Last solution is to use wine to run WoW. As far as I understand that is quite possible and relatively painless |
