Q: Why can't I drag and drop large quantities of music files into my external hard drive?

I simply wish to backup my very large iTunes library onto my external hard drive. I cannot consolidate my library into one folder for I have not enough room on my hard drive to do so. My music is located in 3 or 4 different folders which all contain large amounts of duplicates that I would like to avoid copying to my hard drive. Is there a way to drag and drop large quantities of files into my external hard drive? It will only allow me to move a small number of files at once and would be incredibly time consuming to continue doing it this way. Or is there a way I can consolidate my iTunes library to a folder that's on my external hard drive? Why when consolidating my library is the iTunes media library on my computer the only option?
