How do I transfer data from my disks to my new "memory stick". I'm told that using a disk to download data is "older technology". So now I have a new computer with a memory stick. How do I transfer data on my disks to the new memory stick feature. I just bought a USB External FLOPPY Disk unit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.leftee....I wouldnt think it to be too difficult .......
First ..install the memory stick......
Installing a memory stick

The USB port will be located either in front of the computer or behind it. If the port is in BACK of the computer, you need to look for the USB symbol.

Look at the plug end of the flash drive before you plug it into the port. You want to make sure you plug it in the correct side. Once you have plugged the flash drive in, a pop up window will appear SAYING “Found new hardware disk drive.”

then......Saving a file to a USB memory stick

Click File and SAVE. At the drop down "save in" menu, look for and select the Removable Drive (It might be “E”, “F”, “G” or some other drive.). This is where you want to save your work.

then..... You must follow this procedure before removing the memory stick:

Look for an icon with a green arrow on the bottom right hand section of the computer screen. If you move your mouse over this icon, it will say “Unplug or eject hardware.” Double right click on this icon. You will get a screen that says “Unplug or Eject Hardware.” Select the device you want to unplug, and click stop. If you see a submenu, select the brand name of your storage device. Once you have SELECTED the device and clicked ok, you will get a message stating, “The USB Mass Storage Device can now be safely removed from the system.” Now you can unplug the device.

Hope this assist you .
