You just copy your data to the hard drive somehow. It is just a matter of finding out how the system identifies the hard drive and accessing that device.
For instance, in MS-DOS, if you wanted to copy something to the hard drive you could issue a command such as:
COPY A:\*.* C:\
That would copy the entire contents of the root directory of the floppy in drive A: to the root directory of the hard drive identified as drive C:.
On Windows, if you have something on a CD in drive E: that you want to copy to drive C:, you could just drag and drop it. Just open up the 2 windows that you want to copy between, make the selections on the source folder, and drag them to the window of the destination folder.
