After connecting your USB hard drive to your computer and it loads what it needs to run. It will act as another drive on you computer, you can copy to it the same way in which you copy files around your computer. Right Click the file. Click Copy. Open your drive using My Computer. Right Click an empty space. Click Paste. Another way to do this is via Windows Media Player. # Set up your hard drive so you can access any media files through WMP. # Go to the "Sync" tab. # Choose the device if there is more than one device installed in WMP (in this case, choose your hard drive). # Choose any pictures you want to upload and add them to a "sync list". # Once you have chosen all the files, start syncing the files to your hard drive.
