Answer 1

When you plug your memory stick into your computer's USB port, the computer sees it like it were a removable drive. You just copy the files from your hard drive to the removable drive. Go to "My Computer" -- you should see the icons for your various drives. One of them will be labeled "USB Flash Port" or something that should describe it enough for you to identify it. Then just copy and paste.

Answer 2

Well if you have windows XP or vista you just plug the stick into your usb ports if it is a usb memory stick then click on start and go to the my computer or computer section and it should show your stick as a drive and then you double click to open that.

Then you repeat the process by going to find your files that you saved... Like if you saved them in my documents you go to the my documents folder open it up... highlight the stuff you want then click and hold the mouse on it dragging it to the drive that you opened and it will be there

Answer 3

If you are talking about a USB flash drive, it is pretty simple. You click on 'My Computer,' and then there should be the name of your USB Memory Device. It should be under 'Devices with Removable Storage.' If you have the program open and it has a save button, save to that file in 'My Computer.' If you cant directly save because you have an icon, then drag the icon of your information you want to save onto the USB Removable Drive Icon. The information should move into the drive.

Answer 4

Once the computer recognizes the memory stick, it should be available to you throught My Computer (Windows 95-XP, or Computer for Vista). It should appear with the next available drive letter and be labelled Removeable Storage. You can then treat it as you would a hard drive.
If you can navigate to the data on the hard drive, select the files that you want, right-click and select copy, then navigate to the memory stick, right-click and select paste.

All you have to do is go to
Start >

You'll see the memory stick occupying a drive - It may say "removable media"

Then - you just drag and drop the file from your computer onto the icon.

Answer 8

ok, open the drive where your files are eg. movies, pictures, documents. then open the drive where your stick is. on pc its "my computer, and removable drive" on mac its just on the desktop. from the original, "copy and paste" onto your stick. it might take a while if its a large file though, so just leave after that LOL

Answer 9

put it in your computer
if your computer didn't auto pop up go to my computer
search for the memory stick
open it
drag and drop your file in there
done
