First create a new directory to use as the mount point for the new harddrive.

mkdir /media/newhdd/

Use df -h to determine the name of the new HDD, for your setup it should be /dev/sdc1, but be sure before proceeding.

Mount the drive to the directory you just created: sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/newhdd

Then cp over the files:

cp -a /media/samba_disk_1/data/lrn /media/newdd

Don't copy and paste this because you may need to make small changes to the commands.
