Hi, kirkwebsites.

Copy to/from a flash drive just the same way as to/from your hard drive.

The only difference is inserting the drive and having the computer recognize
that you've done that. And learning which drive letter to use for that
drive.

Simply insert the flash drive into a USB port on your computer. Then open
Windows Explorer and see if you have a new drive that wasn't there before,
probably with a name like "Removable Disk". Use that drive just like you
would any other.

When you are ready to remove the flash drive, you may need to click "Safely
remove..." (in the Notification Area near the clock in the lower right
corner - what some of us old-timers still call the SysTray or System Tray)
to keep from losing data that is still in transit to that drive. But write
operations usually are over in seconds anyhow, so risk of such loss is
minimal.

I have a desktop w/2000 and write HTML into Notepad to create web
pages.
I frequently load them into folders and copy (send to) them onto
floppy's or zip drive and would like to load them onto a flash drive
instead and transfer the flash drive to my laptop w/Vista premium. I
bought the book "Vista for dummies" and have read it over and over but I
haven't a clue how to copy the files over. Why have they made this so
hard to understand? I guess I need the "Vista for the dumbest". Please,
someone answer this.
