Its easy and simple. Just follow the instructions :
1. Firstly, check the cables and the connections for the external hard drive to make sure they are intact. Connect the USB connection from the drive to the computer.
2. Turn the hard drive on. This will make a noise once you turn it on. Once its turned on, you should see a popup signal with a letter identifying the disk. You can open the folder right away or if it requires installation, then do the needful.
3. You can check the drive size by right clicking on the drive and select properties.
4. Next, organize your files to go on the external hard drive and make sure that all files will hold on the external drive.
5. Right click on the files you want to send and select send it to removable disk. You can also use the copy and paste option.
6. Once all the transfers are done, select the eject option to eject the hard drive from your system. Once you eject, you will find a popup in the taskbar whch says "It is safe to remove the hardware". You can unplug the cable and the external drive.
Hope this helps.
