There really isn't any manual for most usb flash drives. A flash
drive is basically an USB Hard drive. It is a very handy device once you have figured out to use it.
Flash drives
come in different internal storage sizes, so it is best you buy one
that suits your needs. What makes it even better, is the fact that it is
a plug-n-play device, which means that you will not have to install any
drivers.
If you do not know what the storage capacity of your
flash drive is, follow these steps to determine the storage size.
Plug the flash drive into your
Desktop/Notebook USB port.
- Double click on the My Computer icon on your desktop.
- Now you should see your flash drive listed as a hard drive.
- Right click on your flash drive.
- Choose the properties option.
- Go to the general tab.
Now you should be able to see clearly how much of the
storage is used, and how much free space you still have left.
To use the flash drive as a
storage device:
- Almost all flash drives are Plug and play, thus plug
the flash drive into the USB port, wait for your computer to detect the
flash drive.
- Once detected, open the drive by double clicking on it's icon in My computer.
- Now you just need to copy the files and paste it on the flash drive.
- Copy the file by right clicking on it, choose the copy option.
- Go to the flash drive and right click, choose the paste option.
- When you are done. remember to go to the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon situated at the bottom of the Window's tray. Click "Eject" or the "Remove the Hardware Safely" option when finished.
Remember, if the files you want to copy is larger than the internal
storage capacity of the flash drive, the file will not copy.
