Download A Picture To A Flash Drive

Download a Picture to a Flash Drive


Downloading a picture to a flash drive involves copying the picture from your computer to the USB device. A flash drive is a removable storage device that plugs into your computer's USB port. They can be used to store seldom-used files or to transfer files among computers. It is best to "copy" the image, rather than "move" it so that you have a backup of the file on your computer.


Instructions


1. Insert a flash drive into a USB slot on your computer.








2. Open "Start", then "My Computer."


3. Note the drive letter for the flash drive. It will likely be "E," "F" or "G."


4. Open the folder that contains the picture you want to load on to the flash drive.


5. Right-click the picture and select "Copy."








6. Point to the place on the flash drive where you'd like to copy the photo, right-click and select "Paste."


7. Click on the "Remove Hardware" icon in the Windows task bar when the copy is complete. See the link in References if you're not familiar with the icon.


8. Choose the flash drive from the list that appears.


9. Remove the flash drive when the "Safe To Remove Hardware" message appears.
