The process of copying a file to a storage medium is actually quite simple. I like to use window explorer. Once you find the file you want to copy right click the folder and then click copy. Then find the file under computer that has your USB (storage medium) right click it and then click paste. The file has been copied. Copying multiple files is very much the same, but when you need to hold the shift key down each time you select a file. Once you have chosen all you files and they are highlighted the steps are the same.

What is the technical name for devices that hold files and folders in a computer?
A data storage device.
Which connections should be provided to a floppy disk drive during installation?
A zip drive is a storage device similar to a floppy disc but of a larger capacity, 100, 250 or 750 megabytes.
Which type of memory is Floppy disk?
Before Hard disks came to desktop computers were things called floppy disks. While they worked they could hold as little as 80K of memory, when they no longer worked they could be used as hand held fans. more recent versions of floppies did store 1.4 meg
Can you use a dvr hdd as an external hdd?
The drives contained in a HDD DVD recorder are standard hard drives, though you will have to remove it from the recorder and reformat it.
This will likely make it unusable in the DVDR HDD.
I agree
Is there a website where I can download a DVD Video ripper converter?
I would recommend you download Eztoo DVD Ripper.
With Eztoo DVD Ripper you can transfer the entire DVD film into all popular video or audio formats.
While the transfer speed is fast (up to 600% transfer speed), the image quality is also high. I've been using it for a year now, never had a problem!

DVD - Digital Versatile Disc
Various companies wanted to create a digital media format that would become the world's standard. This lead to intense competition between VHS and Betamax. As a result there were many different types of video formats and mediums, all incompatible with one another and requiring it's own hardware.
Few years later computer industry experts agreed to create a universal format - the DVD.
What does a DVD-Super Multi Drive do?
A DVD Super Multi drive has the ability to both read and write DVD discs. This type of drive does not support LightScribe.---- according to the HP website,,,,,,,,,, The super multi drive does support LightScribe. And this is a program that adds a picture or information to a cd or dvd after writing/burning it by flipping the disc over after the burn is complete.... And YES you can read and write both cds and dvds with the super multi drive...IN MY OPINION....... Use Dual layer DVDs when burning because they have more storage space, just under 9GB on a single DVD.

Which profession was well represented in the computer storage devices industry?
The computer storage industry workforce includes a higher proportion of electrical and electronics engineers than most other U.S. industries.
Compare and contrast sequential access storage vs direct access storage?
The terms direct access and random access describe the same concept. They mean that an element of data or instructions (such as a byte or word) can be directly stored and retrieved by selecting and using any of the locations on the storage media. They also mean that each storage position (1) has a unique address and (2) can be individually accessed in about the same length of time without having to search through other storage positions. For example, each memory cell on a microelectronic semiconductor RAM chip can be individually sensed or changed in the same length of time. Also, any data record stored on a magnetic or optical disk can be accessed directly in about the same period
Sequential access storage media such as magnetic tape do not have unique storage addresses that can be directly addressed. Instead, data must be stored and retrieved using a sequential or serial process. Data are recorded one after another in a predetermined sequence (e.g., numeric order) on a storage medium. Locating an individual item of data requires searching the recorded data on the tape until the desired item is located.
(Tha answer was got from Managment Information System book, written by James O'brien and George Marakas)
What are the advantages of random-access memory?
Well, if you don't have RAM your PC won't start... The RAM is a temporary storage place for the processes you are initiating on the computer. The more RAM you have, the more space there is for the temp data to be stored, the RAM therefore doesn't have to be cleared as often and your PC runs much smoother and faster.
One main advantage of CD-ROMs over floppy disks is that?
CD-ROMs can store a lot more data (almost 500 times more)
How do you connect a computer to the computer you are on now?
You need to use something called remote desktop on a windows machine. This needs to be enabled on both computers. Or you can use WinVNC which will work in the same way. Again both PC's will need the software installed. Logmein Rescue is also great if you know the other PC is on the internet and switched on
