Help! How do I get my stuff onto a USB flash pen

Before I start, I just want to warn you that I'm not very technical, so hopefully you'll be able to understand what I am enquiring about.

I have purchased one of those USB flash pens (I think that's what you call them), you know the ones where you can copy all your stuff onto it and take it with you and put it into a computer and you have all your data on it.

The thing is, it came without instructions and I don't know how to do it.

Does anyone have any ideas please? I put it into my USB port and a wizard came up to make an 'E' drive, which I have done, but I don't know how to put all my data onto it? :confused:

Can anyone help me please?

    Open My Computer and there will be and E: Drive normally called "Removable Storage" double click and it will open, then simply drag and drop your files to the drive and hey presto its copied to it to open anywhere.

    also you can "right click" on the file you want on the drive and point your mouse to "Send To" on the menu that opens click on E: removable drive and it will also copy it to the drive.

    Hope that helps :-)

    You could also highlight, right click and either copy to or move to x:drive X: being your USB drive.
