COPY FILES FROM COMPUTER TO A FLASH DRIVE

Copy and Paste is the same whether you are copying an article in the paper or an email you've received or from one page in word to another page or another document... Steps are:

1. Highlight what you want to copy
2. Give the command to Copy
3. Go to where you want to put the item
4. Give the command to Paste...

So you do the same thing when you are copying a folder, group of folders or various files to and from your flash/removable drive...

1. Open My Computer to see which drives are shown.
2. Insert flash drive in the USB port, it will appear as “removable drive” or indicate the company name (Removable Disk (G)
3. Open MY DOCUMENTS & Select the files or folders you want to copy to flash drive by left-clicking on them. To copy multiple, hold the CTRL key while you click & select all of the files you wish to save.
4. RIGHT-CLICK on the folders you want to copy (or go to Menu Bar & Edit) and choose COPY.
5. Go to “My Computer”; choose the correct Drive you want to copy your work/files/folders to; highlight that drive (i.e. "Removable Disk (G:),
6. RIGHT-CLICK on the Drive (or go to Menu Bar & Edit); choose PASTE

When the copying is finished, DO NOT IMMEDIATELY REMOVE THE FLASH DRIVE FROM THE USB PORT - Left-click on the REMOVE HARDWARE icon located in the System Tray to the far right of your Task Bar on the bottom of your monitor screen, to be sure it says: SAFELY REMOVE STORAGE DEVICE.
