    I think its coz of space(s) in filenames. Type backslash (\) before each space.
    Code:
    cp /mnt/windows/Users/valemon/07\ Track\ 07.wav <destination>
    In case it doesn't work, post the mount line of /mnt/windows from /etc/fstab file.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Its not listing any Windows Partition. Are you mounting Windows Partitions manually? Which command are you using?
