    Chown file in external HDD

    Hi, I'm backing up a file created with tiger john chkrootkit, to my external HDD for safekeeping. That way, if the system is compromised and the file is edited or removed, I will still have the file backed up so I can check it with the new report (this is all just hypothetical of course). Trouble is, I can't get the file to change permissions! When I try;
    Code:
    sudo -i
    Code:
    (root@computername:~#)cd /media/My Book/Security
    Code:
    bash: cd: 'My': no such file or directory found
    (My Book is the name of the HDD, and Security is the name of the directory it's {the file} is stored under).
    or:
    Code:
    cd /media/My-Book/Security
    doesn't work either. But when I do:
    Code:
    cd /media
    (root@computername:/media#)
    it works. Using the command;
    Code:
    ls
    I get:
    Code:
    My Book
    But I can't go to it! Does anyone know how to do this? Or any alternative (graphical) method? I can just back it up to cryptkeeper folder, but still.
