Help with USB memory stick

i just bought one incase anything happens to my compuer i dont want my files gone forever. i just bought it and it has no directions and i tried to google it but got no help (thats the first) i was wondering how you put files ON the stick

 

1. plug in the usb drive into an empty usb port on your computer
2. if anything pops up about drivers, allow them to install, they are what lets the computer recognize the drive
3. If the contents of the usb drive dont come in a popup, go to my computer, and look for removable storage
4. Drag files/ folders into the folder and it will be saved to the drive.

if that was too confusing, i can make a video of how to do it

 

Just put it in the usb port, go to "My computer" and you should see it.
To actually put stuff on it, just click and drag like when you're moving it on your computer. It wil automatically create a copy of the object you're putting on your usb memory stick =)
It's quite simple actually =)

Edit; Billy_bob beat me to it

 

no i understood ^^ thank you so much

 

its just like using a normal drive or a cd drive, open up my computer and it is ur usb drive letter.

 

if your using windows 98 you have to install driver for it but if your using xp or vista its just plug and play..

 

Be sure to use a reliable brand, or it might break. I think kingston is the best around ... that I've tried at least. It's cheap and doesn't break.
