How to transfer a folder from one disk to another, how to copy files from a computer to a USB flash drive - such questions can often be heard from novice computer users. Since it is difficult to explain these actions in words, I created a lesson with pictures in which I show how to copy files and folders to a USB flash drive, to another drive, to another folder.
How to open a USB flash drive, a folder to copy
1) First, open the folder to copy to.
We double-click on the Computer icon (in Windows 7), or My Computer (Windows XP). This icon is usually found in the left upper corner monitor screen (desktop).
A window with the contents of your computer will open (Fig. 1). This is how the window looks in Windows 7.
Rice. 1a
And this is how the window looks in Windows XP (Fig. 1a).
The windows on your computer may also differ due to the settings appearance... I don't find it necessary to spend time changing the appearance of windows. This is irrelevant. I would like to draw your attention to the most important points.
List Hard drives ... In fig. 1 you see in the list 4 local disks on the computer, in figure 1a we see 2 local disks on another computer. There can be at least 1 local disk, this is when one is installed on the computer HDD(hard drive) and it is not split into local drives.
List Removable media devices... This list will show your CD - drives, DVD - drives. Your flash drive will appear in the same list when you insert it into the USB input of your computer. For example, in Fig. 1, the flash drive is visible under the name Removable Disk (K). Your drive will most likely be assigned a different drive letter, depending on the number of drives on your computer.
In this example, I want to copy a folder from a USB flash drive to a local drive H. Therefore, we double-click on Local disk (H) in fig. 1.

A list of folders and files of my H drive opens. If you need to create new folder, into which you will drop files from the flash drive - I wrote in red where you need to right-click to create a new folder. And I think you have already learned the lesson on creating a folder.
If you want to drag a folder from a USB flash drive directly to the disk (and not to an additional folder), then you do not need to create a folder. In this case, we believe that we have already prepared the disk to which we will copy the folder from the flash drive.
Now we take the window by the top edge and drag it to the right or down. I wrote in red where you need to click left button mouse and, without releasing it, drag the window to the side, or down. Practice dragging windows!
2) Now you need to open the USB flash drive (disk) from which we will copy.
Double-click the " My computer". A new window opens, exactly as in the figures. But, if in the first case, we chose the disk - where to copy, then now we need to open the disk from which we will copy.
I was going to copy from a flash drive. In my case, it is Removable disk H(fig. 1). I double-click on this disk and a window with the contents of the flash drive will open.
The window from which we are copying and the window into which we are copying should not completely cover each other. I placed them on top of each other (Fig. 3), and if you have a widescreen monitor, you can arrange the windows side by side.
How to copy files and folders.
Now we can see the contents of both disks in two different windows .. To do this, I hover over desired folder, I press the left mouse button. Then, without releasing the left mouse button, I drag the folder from the upper window to the lower window.
Rice. 3
When "+ Copy to Local Disk" appears, release the mouse button and the folder will be copied to a new window.
Rice. 4
It's a little different in Windows XP. There a + appears and a vertical bar to show where the folder will be copied to (Figure 4).
This way you can copy files and folders from one local disk to another, from a USB flash drive to a local drive, from a local drive to a USB flash drive. If you inserted 2 flash drives at once, then you can immediately copy from one flash drive to another.
How to transfer, not copy, folders and files.
We copied the folder from one disk to another. Once you've verified that the folder appears in its new location, double-click it to make sure that the contents of the folder are in place as well.
Now you can delete the old folder that you copied. To do this, click the cursor on the old folder once so that it is selected, and then press the Delete key. Windows will ask again:
"Are you sure you want to send the folder to the trash?" Click the "Yes" button. And the folder will be in the trash can.
Note. You can make it so that when you drag, the old folder is immediately deleted. To do this, do everything as in fig. 3, but keep the Shift key pressed. The folder will appear in the new window, and disappear in the old one. However, until you gain experience with a computer, I advise you to follow the above scheme.
A common mistake when copying files.
Rice. 5
Often, novice users release the mouse button when the copied file (or folder) is above another folder (Fig. 5). As a result, the file is inside that folder, and the user starts looking for a long time - where did the file go.

Of course, we will not consider the simplest options such as "computer - flash drive" or vice versa. We are more interested in the question: how to rewrite from disk to disk or from cassette to disk? The second option is the most popular, since there are many recordings left on videotapes that I would like to keep.

That is why we will now teach you how to rewrite everything you want from cassette to disc, spending no more than 1.5 thousand rubles on it.
What will we spend this money on? For special equipment called a TV tuner. It is available both external (for a laptop) and internal (for stationary computer). We also need a tape recorder, a set of wires (usually come with a TV tuner). For the external, we need YUSB and bells, for the internal - only the second.
We connect a TV tuner, install software and drivers (disks are always included). Run the program and insert the cassette, press "Start". Now it's worth adjusting the clarity of the image. A picture appeared on the monitor, very fuzzy, blurry, right-click on it and select the "Channel settings" item.
