Can't copy Extra folder on SL install

Can't copy Extra folder on SL install

Am following the technow.cc guide to installing SL on my 1000H. I'm on the last step of video 2 where it says copy the Extra fodler from usb into the root of the mac install partition, but when I try it comes up with the error:
"The item "Extra" can't be replaced because it's invisible."
I have tried creating a folder in the root called "Extra" but it says: "The name "Extra" is already taken. Please choose a different name."

Open terminal

type :
sudo -s (it will ask your password)
cd / (to go to root)
ls -la (you will see what you have at the root of the drive, a lot of thinks are hidden). You should see an Extra folder.
if you see it just remove it like that :
rm -Rf /Extra (be careful with this command, -R meens recursive and f force).

Good luck
