    How do I copy my photos to a Flash drive

    • Insert the flash drive.
    • Open the folder with the photos.
    • Single click on one photo to highlight it.
    • Ctrl+A will highlight them all.
    • Left click on the mass of photos and drag them to the flash drive.

    How do I copy my photos to a Flash drive

    ==========================================

    Something to try.....

    When inserted in a USB port...the Flash Drive should

    be recognized at...Start / Computer...with a drive letter.

    Possible Example:

    Removable Disk Inserted a flash drive to copy photos and the computer did not recognize it - I have used... :)F)

    In Windows Live Photo Gallery...right click a thumbnail

    or a selected group of thumbnails and from the menu...

    choose...Copy.

    Then go to...Start / Computer...right click the drive letter

    that represents your Flash Drive and from the menu...

    choose..."Paste".

    ==

    If you go directly to your Pictures folder to transfer the

    files...when you right click the selected (highlighted)

    thumbs or a complete folder...the menu will have an

    option to 'Send To' and you can choose the drive letter

    of the Flash Drive.

    If you are receiving an error that states:

    "Cannot copy XXXX: The directory or file cannot be created"

    This occurs when too many files are added to the root

    directory...the solution is to create folders to copy the

    photos into.

    (FWIW...you may need to remove a photo from the flash drive

    to make room for the folder)
