[SOLVED] Cannot move/copy files to a mounted drive

Hi. I'm new to arch linux.
I mounted a windows 10 drive as root into /mnt directory. The problem is that when I try to copy or move files from arch linux to /mnt I cannot cause the file system is read-only. Even doing it as root.
How can I solve that problem?
Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot move/copy files to a mounted drive

What filesystem was the device you mounted and what was the exact command you used to mount it?
Edit:
Also the outputs of

findmnt /mnt
stat /mnt

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot move/copy files to a mounted drive

The filesystem is a windows filesystem (NTFS).

The command I used is $ mount /dev/sda3 /mnt

$ findmnt /mnt
TARGET SOURCE    FSTYPE OPTIONS
/mnt   /dev/sda3 ntfs   ro,relatime,uid=0,gid=0,fmask=0177,dmask=077,nls=utf8,errors=continue,mft_zone_multiplier=1

$ stat /mnt
  Fichero: /mnt

NTFS-3G is required for rw mounting of NTFS.

Thanks so much. I was missing that package. Now it works.
