"My name is James. I'm a Computer Hardware Training Coordinator for InterConnection, and I'm going to show you how to transfer files from your hard drive to an external hard drive. Now, when you want to copy your files, you want to find out all the files you really want. You might want to start with your my documents, your business files, your bookmarks, anything you want. How to do this; is you go to start, you click my computer, you use this to browse to where you want to go. In our case, we want to go to our documents, and we want our shopping list. We need to know what we want to buy at the store. So, we're going to right click it, go copy because we just want to copy it to our external device. We go back to My computer again. So now we have two windows open and there is our external storage device right there. We open it, we right click anywhere; hit paste. We've just copied one file from our hard drive to our external storage device. It's that simple. Now, you just rinse and repeat for all the files you need. You can remove the external device, and you've just transferred your data. My name's James, and I just showed you how to transfer files from your hard drive to an external hard drive."
