Using an USB Flash Drive with Windows Vista

how do u save programs to a flash drive

Think of your USB flash drive as another storage unit. You could copy and paste anything onto it for example.Find the program files and copy and paste them into the flash drive. This is one thought.

I got Vista Home Premium and when I plug in my USB flash drive, I hear the hardware sound but nothing comes up, I can't even find it in the My computer. But the safety hardware remove dose come up.

Mine is doing the same thing. I find the USB flash drive in the Computer section of the Start Menu. What research I have done tells me that a program that I have installed, may have casued the "AutoPlay" screen not to appear when USB plugged in. It is annoying. Still looking for the answer myself.

Use Computer in Start Menu to access device for now.

Check to see if you can see your device using this method...choose Start (Lower left button on screen) > My Computer. The Windows Explorer window should open. See if you can see it there. If not, chances are you need a driver to help your computer recognize your device. A driver is a mini program that helps your computer work with the device you are connecting.

You "may" need a driver for the process to work. A driver is a mini program from the manufacturer that makes hardware work.

Check your manual for ideas. It is usually the last place we check, but it should e one of the first. There may be a solution found there. Also check manufacturer's web site for more info.
