Before I get yelled at or trolled, I have already tried the base methods to fix this. Long story short, I am trying to copy a file on my desktop to a HDD in my tower. I used to run ubuntu on this computer but that shouldn't matter since it is formatted to NFTS and my arch partition is ext4. I can mount the HDD just fine, but cannot copy files to it. I have changed the owner of the HDD, set chmod to 777, tried graphically and shell moving the file.
Error opening file '/media/7646FA3A4AD3318A/RockMeltSetup.exe': Permission denied
I get that error through GUI and
cp: cannot create regular file `/media/7646FA3A4AD3318A/RockMeltSetup.exe': Permission denied
in shell. In ubuntu moving files to it worked just fine. Any help?

Are you using NTFS-3G? , or are are you using Arch NTFS support as it comes out of the box? Arch does not support mounting NTFS volumes for write without NTFS-3G.
You can verify this by looking at the output of mount
