I am the type of person who merchandisers/advertisers/salesmen love. I recently bought one of the aforementioned thingies (aka flash drive?) without the need for one and without even knowing what it does.

So I have figured out that it can plug in through the front of my computer (a major discovery as every other time I have needed to plug something in it has meant rooting about around the back of the computer!) and I have figured out that I can save things onto it. What I haven't figured out is how to save things onto it!

In the interest of examples I have tried to save a folder of pictures on there, I have right clicked on the folder and was given the options (I figured maybe send to) of dvd rw drive (e:) or removable drive (F:). If the card reader/writer is plugged in then the option of F is there, if I remove it then the option disappears. Therefore I conclude that F is the correct option, but when I click on that it tells me to insert a disk.

Please help me, I am getting a headache!
 
Is it a flash drive or a card reader? you mention both.
A flash drive is what it says, it has its own storage drive/memory, if its a card reader have you put a card in it? thats probably why its telling you to insert a disk
 
the "F" icon, or open it by double clicking it and drag to the window that opens, read after that its saying insert disk so I'm thinking it is a card reader and you have just plugged the reader in but no card in it
 
ha, thanks for the clue Ken. It is a card reader/writer and upon inspection (taking off the other end) it needs a memory card bunging in it.
