Perhaps the success or failure of dragging files and/or folders is really dependent on where you're trying to copy them to. In other words, the permissions associated with the destination is what controls whether or not you have the ability to create files and/or folders in that location. Do a "Get Info" in Finder (Command+i) on the destination folder of where you're trying to create stuff then at the bottom of this dialog box there is a "Sharing & Permissions" section - click on the triangle to show the list of names and permissions for those users/groups -- if you don't have write permission then you won't be able to create things there.
Does that help?
If you will give us a couple of specific examples of places you're trying to create copies of files/folders then will try and give more assistance.
Good luck...
