Transfer Photos From A Hard Drive To A Memory Stick

Transfer Photos From a Hard Drive to a Memory Stick


A Memory Stick is a small storage device that uses flash memory. This technology was originally developed by Sony to be used with digital cameras and other portable electronic devices. Memory Sticks are now used with other Sony products like the PlayStation Portable (PSP). You can add or remove files from your Memory Stick by connecting it to your computer. Once you've connected the Memory Stick to your computer, you can use the Memory Stick like any other USB drive or storage device.


Instructions


1. Insert the Memory Stick into the Memory Stick reader. Some computers are equipped with a media card slot into which you can plug the Memory Stick directly. If your computer has a media card slot, you can skip this step.


2. Connect the Memory Stick reader to your computer's USB port.


3. Open the Memory Stick on your computer by clicking "Start" and then "Computer." Double-click the Memory Stick under "Devices with removable storage." This opens a new window displaying the contents of your Memory Stick.


4. Navigate to the folder that contains your photos. You may have a "Pictures" folder designated specifically for picture files. Open that folder.


5. Drag photos from the original location into the Memory Stick window that you opened in step 3. The photos are transferred from your hard drive onto your memory stick.


6. Eject the Memory Stick before removing the Memory Stick reader from your computer. Right-click the Memory Stick under "Devices with removable storage" and select "Eject."
