you probably need to set permission or re-mount the drive with read/write permissions, you should try cp command from terminal it will give you more clear reasons

usage: cp current_location_of_file new_location_of_file cp /home/juni/myFile /home/junaid/

and i don't think this could be your reinstallation issue,

I have solved this issue by myself. My paste option was disabled because I had installed ubuntu on this drive with virtual machine. I followed these steps. 1- I copied data from that drive to other 2- then I formatted that drive

Now am able to copy paste in that drive.thanks to myself
