By a pen drive I'm guessing you mean a USB flash drive like thing. When you plug the pen drive in, your computer should automatically detect it and open up a window that has its contents. Leave that open and find the file that you need to move onto it and just drag and drop it into the Pen Drives window. Its as simple as that. Then close the window and disconnect the drive.

simple,

1:open the disc with the content you wish to copy to the pendrive

2:then plug in and open the pendrive

3:then either use your mouse to select the files you wish to copy or if you wish to copy all just hold down CTRL then tap the A key to select all

4:then you can either drag them directly over to you pendrive(to do this you need to have both the files on the CD visible and the place on you pendrive you wish to copy them to placed beside each other so both places are visible then drag them over)

or copy all file be holding the CTRL key and tap the C key(all files or the files you wished to copy should be selected before you do this)then open the pendrive folder and hold the CTRL key while tap the V key to paste everything u have selected earlier to the pendrive

if you are using windows XP, go to "my computer" then you will see a bunch of drives. In Vista, go to start. "computer" to get the same thing. one of these drives should be your flash drive (which should be inserted into the computer via a USB port). double click the icon to open a folder containing all the files on it. simple drag and drop the files you want from the desktop to the flash drive

When the pendrive is pushed into the USB port on the computer, it should show up as a drive, showing the files on the pendrive. You can now click on a file and drag it on to the computer. Hold down the Ctrl key before dragging if you want to copy the file over rather than remove the file entirely off the pendrive.

Plug the USB device into a vacant port. Open the window where the item is that you want to copy. Open the window for the USB device. Drag and drop the item from its original place to the USB device.

The HP Mini notebook has no CD drive. How do you copy software from a CD onto a flash drive or memory stick?

Well, you could just buy a USB CD drive and then plug it in to your mini-notebook. However, there are other ways of doing what you want. If you have a computer that does have a CD drive and a USB port, what you want to do is very easy. Put the CD into the computer's CD drive. Copy and paste the files into Your Documents (or wherever else you store things on your computer. Just make sure you know where you saved the file). After you have copied and pasted all of the data onto your computer's hard drive, insert the USB drive/memory stick and copy and paste all of the data that you got from the CD onto the USB drive. With the files on the USB drive, you should then be able to plug the USB drive out of your computer and into your mini notebook.
