How to use a USB stick for extra storage

I try to add the storage to my macbook air 11 inches so I have a USB to sd card and I was wondering how to add this on my main hard drive storage.

Thank you!

TheTrueTechie,

Did you plug in the USB cable to your laptop?

  • Qosmio F30-140 - how to use the USB Flash boot option?

    Dear,

    After I updated my BIOS of the laptop, when I start my laptop I find new start method, it is from USB Flash?  :| How I can use it and what type of file should be in it? I mean .iso or what?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I n t have Qosmio F30 so that I can t test it for you, but I think it means options that you can boot from a USB stick for example. Did you check that?

    You can boot from an iso file t because you have to create a bootable media. For example a Windows Start disc or a version of Linux that you can boot from a USB key.

    Hello

    During the installation of Windows 7 or 8.1 using a USB stick - get the message "cannot be installed, it is a GPT partition.

    I have 64 bit install discs for Win 7 and Win 8.1. These two install on my desktop in duel boot. I made a Flash DRIVE of each disk so I can install it more quickly.

    Problem: I get the cannot install because it is a GPT partition.

    Thank you, Brad

    Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

    Your computer does not have Microsoft's Downgrade rights and you must buy a copy of Windows 7 with a valid Microsoft COA and product key.

    The screenshots below is from a laptop HP 15 t-j100... options and the configuration on your computer screens may differ.

    You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

    After you save the changes, the computer will ask you to confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.

    If you install Windows 7 from a USB and see a message of "load a driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing", it's because as 'System Configuration' > 'Config USB3.0 in pre-start' is set to 'Enabled '. This should be set to 'Auto '.

    In addition, as the factory hard drive is partitioned as TPG, you must start using the internal CD/DVD UEFI or UEFI-Key/key USB to install Windows on a GPT-partitioned disk. Turn on or restart the computer and press "F9" or "ESC", then "F9" when prompted. Select the source of boot UEFI you use and you press "ENTER".

    I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Satellite T130: 5-in-1 Bridge Media Slot - how to use the Memory Stick?

    Hi all

    My T130 has a bridge 5-in-1 Media Slot for SD card / Memory Stick / Memory Stick Pro / MultiMedia Card and xD-Picture Card.

    But how it should work with a Memory Stick? Its smaller SD card and just fall into the slot (no klick and no contact - and no easy way to get it out with your fingers).

    Do need me an adapter for this (mentioned nowhere in the manual)?

    On my old Sony Vaio, I have two slots, SD and Memory Stick - but how should this work with one slot on T130?

  • How to use a memmory stick to get photos from one computer to another

    I have an old computer with a lot of pictures on and I would like to put them on this computer I can do this with a memmory stick If Yes, how I'm new to computers so I need it to be simple

    I have an old computer with a lot of pictures on and I would like to put them on this computer I can do this with a memmory stick If Yes, how I'm new to computers so I need it to be simple

    Yes, you can very easily. Connect the memory stick on the old computer. Now copy the files of the rto to compute the memory stick. You can do this in several ways, but the easiest is to copy - paste and drag-and - drop. (If you don't know how to do those, post back for more information).

    Once the files on the memory stick, remove it from the old computer and plug it into a new one. Do copy-and - paste or drag-and - drop from the memory stick to the new computer.

    Also, note that it is possible that your memory stick is not big enough for all the photos, so you may need to do this in several batches.

  • OR PXI-8196 target using a USB stick formatting

    Hello everyone,

    I use a PXI chassis with controller PXI-8196 and multiple PXI DAQmx cards. I need to format the hard drive on the target of PXI and reinstall the RT operating system as well as all other software. I am trying to restart the PXI with a USB bootable, but it gives me the option to format the hard drive.

    Here are the steps I followed.

    1. I created the disk bootable with MAX using the RT disc utilities > create Desktop PC USB Drive Utility (PXI-8196 does not have a floppy drive so I have to use a USB key)

    2. I have connected a keyboard and screen to target to see it start.

    3. I've also adjusted the sequence of boot as the boot option "USB HDD: LEXAR JUMPDRIVE SPORT" among those available in the boot sequence has the highest priority. (My USB is a USB of LEXUS so I'm sure that this particular option must be the first in the sequence).

    4 but once I start my system. It does not give me the option to format (according to MAX documentation should give me an option to "format hard drive"). Here's what I see on the screen connected to the target

    = = The output to the screen is bounded by these two rails =.

    The IP address is: 10.10.10.2

    ===========================================================================

    At the end of the last cursor keeps blinking and nothing happens

    5. the 10.10.10.2 IP address is the address in the configuration I want to format and reinstall. So I don't know if he meant to keep automatically previous IP address.

    6. to avoid the fact that there may be something wrong with the USB, I repeated the procedure as a whole with another USB drive. But exactly the same thing happens again.

    Please help me it reboot with a USB port and format the hard drive and reinstall all software.

    Thanking in anticipation.

    Vivek.

    Hello

    Try this, go into the BIOS of the PXI, under LabVIEW RT to the startup configuration, change the Windows option / other OS. Then try what you are doing.

    Let me know if it works for you
