  Are you referring to a flash drive?

  (1) Insert your Pen Drive\Flash drive on the USB (Universal Serial Bus) port on your Windows XP computer.

  (2) to highlight the Photos (you can use CTRL + a keys to select all photos in a folder) that you want to move or copy.

  (3) right click on the image to highlight and press send to > select your USB key (this action will copy the photos on your USB key)

  (4) after that you copied all your photos or any other file, unplug your USB and connect it to your Windows Vista-based computer.

  (5) on Windows Vista, click Start > hit computer > double click on your flash drive to open it.

  (6) copy all of your photos (CTRL + A) and then navigate to a location where you want to save your photos and paste them (right click and select Paste).

• How long will take to perform a backup in Vista? And if I use a flash drive?

  I'm doing a back up on my laptop for the first time. I want to know how long does take to make it complete? and can I use a flash drive to put it on the back

  * original title - I need help *.

  I'm doing a back up on my laptop for the first time. I want to know how long does take to make it complete? and can I use a flash drive to put it on the back

  Yes, you can use a flash drive.

  It is conventional to use an external hard drive. Mine has a capacity of 1 TB of sub Canandian $100.

  As for how long, it varies. Depends on the amount of files to back up.

  I think that the first time I did it was an hour.

  The next backup would be shorter because he'll be increment backup... just save those who are new.

• How to use a flash drive to download mods and expansion packs to an Xbox 360?

  This question is perhaps out of bounds for this site, but as MS I thought I would give it a shot. Laughing out loud

  I tried for a while to use a flash drive to download mods and to my games on my 360 expansion packs. However, I can't make it work. According to the website of XBOX 360, it can be done, but after following the instructions, I had no chance.

  Anyone have any ideas here?

  Thank you

  PS My cable company does not offer a wireless right now modem to install XBOX Live.

• Is it possible to transfer this up-to-date copy of Windows on my new PC?

  Original title: build a PC if I need a new copy of Windows?

  As the title says I'm building a new PC, the new SSDS etc.. I am currently using Windows 8 that came preinstalled on my store bought HP PC, is it possible to transfer this up-to-date copy of Windows on my new PC, or I have to buy a new one?

  Cinna

  Hello Cinna,

  You found since the OEM copy of Windows cannot be transferred to another computer, and, unfortunately, there is no work around either.

  If you are going to build your own PC, then I suggest a full commercial copy (not an upgrade) of the operating system rather than an OEM. At least, with a retail copy it can be transferred to a new machine providing that you remove the copy from the old machine.

  Although, when I buy a new PC, the machine is supplied with a copy OEM I always buy a commercial copy to allow me to move the operating system to a new computer should all arrive at the older one. Plenty of retail copies are more expensive, but worth the extra expense, especially if, like me, you're updating your computer regularly.

• CPU and CPU max and freeze my game of Combat Arms. Can I use a flash drive to store my game on? If so, how. Windows Vista HP 64-bit.

  I'd like put my music on one of these small plug-in things as well.  I have a 4 GB, USB Flash drive but for some reason, I think I bought the wrong thing... what should I use and where it goes and how it works... .so I can free up space on my new pc.  (p.s first time user sorry response)

  You can store your music and other files on the USB fllash.  Simply plug into a USB port on the computer and then it will appear in Windows Explorer as another drive.  You can move files back and forth as you would with any other drive.

  Put the game on flash drive will just make things worse for the processor and the processor - it will not solve the problem with the game.  The problem seems to be that the game requires a more powerful computer that you own.  The choices are new game or new/updated computer up-to-date (if the computer can be upgraded).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• How can I use a flash drive with my ipad pro

  I want to buy an ipad pro for school, but I will need an adapter to plug in my flash drive. I was wondering if I would be able to buy an adapter that I can use for a flash drive.

  You can buy a control usb3 adapter, but can connect a USB fat32 and you can import photos because there is no file browser.  Flash player cannot be connected or sick... instead of you can only buy western digital my passport wireless hard drive to keep your files and my cloud app works very well with the ipad pro

• How to use a flash drive for HP Pavilion p6331 with Windows Vista for backup worki?

  Hello

  While I have a master's degree, my know-how is written the text, does not not with the computer functions that are new to me.  Whenever I try to my backup job, the default setting of my Media Smart desktop assumes that my files will be sent to some separate, newly purchased drive, drive E.  However, I don't have any drive E!  I bought some DVDs but they keep rejected and cannot be written above.  Seems cheaper solution was to buy a flash drive.  I tried to save, but the menu showed that drive new E or "insert DVD."  What I need to know where/how is insert (front of the back of the Tower?) flash player and the "selection" of this option.  Do I need to buy a special cable to connect this small Lexar Flash drive, 16 GB?

  Thanks for all the words of wisdom.

  Hello leathergirl. I checked the model number on the HP website and did not find a system with this model you listed.

  You can see the card reader in the E: drive when you try to back up your data.

  You should be able to navigate to any location (by car) which is able to accept data during backups. I don't recommend that you use the backup but just Windows copy and paste all data, such as documents, pictures, music, etc..

  Unless you use DVD +/-RW disc, the DVD disc can have that data written (burned) to them once. DVD +/-RW can be rewritten several times before becoming defective.

  The Lexar 16 GB Flash drive USB should be inserted into the USB port on the front and then recognized by the operating system and drivers must be installed by the operating system.

  You should be able to copy and paste your data to the Lexar FlashDrive using Windows Explorer. Lexar Flash drive must be placed in the list of drives on the left side of the screen when using Windows Explorer.

• Satellite 2800-200 - what external enclosure that I can use for HARD drive

  My daughter has a laptop of Toshiba S2800-200 eldely.
  It is broken where the mains cable between the machine and she has been quoted £100 for repair!
  She has already bought a new computer repair is not an option.

  Toshiba, however, contains some files (photos, music etc, mainly) that she would like to keep, but get the files of the computer laptop and on its new machine is a problem.

  My thought is to buy a cheap USB basket somewhere like eBay, remove the hard drive and use the caddy to download photos. etc on his new computer via the USB port.

  To buy the correct caddy I need to know the full spec (diameter, capacity, etc.) of the Toshiba hard drive and I don't have a clue!

  Can someone here point me to the spec of the drive on a Toshiba S2800-200 please?

  I guess the Satellite 2800 series is supported by the IDE HDD controller and HARD drive would be also a 2.5 IDE HDD.
  That's why you should look for a USB IDE HDD box

• Hardware changes not detected using a flash drive, the missing, system restore points tried every fix that MS can offer in Windows 7

  All of a sudden, I have several problems with my computer.  I can't not computer to recognize a flash drive.  Printer works in the same usb port.  I used Device Manager, checked the drivers, made every difficulty that MS has to offer, each difficulty that Dell can offer, but the problem remains.  I don't feel uncomfortable so I don't have to play with the registry.  I uninstalled the drivers and rebooted.  The only changes that I did before this happened was to uninstall and reinstall I-tunes.  The flash drive, I use would be defective?  When I went to the system restore, my restore points have disappeared, that was the point where I uninstalled I-tunes.  I also noticed that when I tried to detect problems with the resolution of the problems of hardware and devices, it says "material changes may not have been detected.  In detail, it also shows "there is no configured windows in a way never install driver - edition".  WHAT?  I know that windows IS configured to automatically install.  (Deep breath)

  Very well.  So I am at a loss.  Any suggestions?  Thank you very much for your time and your attention...

  1. What is the model of your Dell computer?
  2. that all measures tried on your own to fix this?
  3 have you tried to test the flash drive on another computer to see if it is faulty?
   
  This problem arises usually when the flash drive is faulty or the chipset drivers are in conflict with the USB drivers.  I recommend you to consult the following Microsoft article and check.

• Why can't my Flash drive for readyboost?

  I tried a whiff of 221 mb usb flash drive so it says the size of the unit must be greater than 256 MB and then I tried a whiff of 3.5 GB usb flash drive, but he said that the device does not have the performance characteristics required for use in speeding up your system.

  ReadyBoost requires the player to have a fast enough speed read/write. Not all flash drives are fast enough.

  In some situations, you might not be able to use all of the memory on your device to speed up your computer. For example, some flash memory devices contain both slow and fast flash memory, but ReadyBoost can only use fast flash memory to speed up your computer.
