plug in the usb and a file should pop up in your computer click it and say compact file wait till it loads and then you open your files and drag it to your local hard drive
FAT (file allocation table ) or FAT32 for external
Drag from your pictures folder and drop onto the external drive. If you formatted the external drive on Windows you probably won't be able to do this because Windows uses a different file system than Mac OS X.
You can defragment an external drive connected to a computer running Windows by opening the disk defragment tool and selected the external drive. Though if the external drive is an SSD, there would be no point in defragmenting it or "rearranging files" as there are no parts that need to be moved before the file can be accessed.
The most likely reason is that the drive was formatted with a Linux file system. Reformatting the drive to NTFS or FAT32 will make the drive usable in Windows. You could also install an ext4 driver in Windows to access the drive without reformatting it.
By means of an external drive, linux and windows are different OSes, but you may use those very same files in both. If you are using the same computer with a dual boot you may use, again, an external drive or just browse windows folder after mounting it in your linux OS.
Of course, backup all your files to an external hard drive and perform a clean install with your Vista disk. They only make it easy to upgrade never downgrade. If you do not have an external hard drive, create a disk partition to use as your file backup.
You use My Computer & Windows Explorer to browse the file system on a drive in Windows XP.
You don't install external HDD's, you just plug them in. Usually they are USB now days which is plug and play. If this is not the case, google the model number and search the manufacturer's site for the info you seek; a driver may need to be downloaded from their site and installed before it will work!
As long as they use the same data connector, yes. However, you will likely not be able to use the hard drive, as Windows XP will not usually work when transferred to another computer, and Windows Me cannot read the NTFS file system. Reinstalling Windows XP or formatting the hard drive in Windows Me will resolve these respective issues.
