How to Use Mobile Drives
- 1). Connect the USB flash drive to a USB port on the computer. If using an external hard drive, plug the USB cable running from the drive into the USB port on the computer. The external hard drive also needs to be connected to a power outlet.
- 2). Click the "Start" button followed by either "Computer" or "My Computer." Double-click the removable device icon. A window opens with all of the files currently stored on your mobile drive.
- 3). Click-and-drag the files you want to copy into the open window. A small progress window appears, showcasing how long it takes to complete the file transfer.
- 4). Copy files from the mobile device to your computer in a similar fashion. Click-and-drag the files from the open window and bring them to a location on your computer.
- 5). Close out the removable device icon, right-click the drive icon and select "Eject" from the pull-down menu. You can now safely remove the mobile drive from your computer.
