cp: cannot stat 'media/belkacem/01CF36CD84AC8C90/Originals/stvbios.zip': No such file or directory

Why am I getting this message? What seems to be the problem?

You need a / in front of media

sudo cp /media/belkacem/01CF36CD84AC8C90/Originals/stvbios.zip /usr/share/games/mame/roms

will work, assuming the path is correct

Explanation of the error

The mountpoint of your external device is in the directory /media. the first / specifies the root directory - all full absolute paths start with / You can use relative paths without / but this depends on where you are. For example, when you open a terminal you are in your home directory, so you can see the contents of your Downloads directory like this

ls Downloads

or move to your Documents and list the contents like this

cd Documents; ls

and so on...
