I am booting up Ubuntu 2012.04 LiveCD... and was able to do

/sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

and be able to see files in /mnt, which is the main hard drive that can't boot up any more.

So to copy files from /mnt to an external hard drive or USB flash drive, I connected a 1TB external hard drive and 2 USB flash drives to the computer, but for some reason, in "File Systems", I can't drag and drop files from /mnt into those external hard drive or USB flash drives? I can't open or look into those drives either... How to make it work?
