Copying / Moving Files

Removable Disk Method

Now that you have successfully installed your new SH14 External Hard Drive, you copy or move files or whole

folders from your new SH14 to your computer and vice-versa

For the Purposes of this manual, we will make a copy of the Temp folder on the C drive of your computer and

copy it to the SH14 External Hard Drive.

From the Windows Desktop click:

WHEN YOU MOVE A FOLDER OR FILE, YOU NO LONGER HAVE A BACKUP COPY.

Copy and paste files from the computer to the SH14 External Hard Drive (Removable Disk Method)

From the Windows Explorer, you will see various

drive letters; your C drive is your local Hard Drive.

The SH14 will most likely be the E drive, however it

may be any drive letter.

For the purposes of this manual, we will assume that

the SH14 is the G drive. As well, for practice copying

folders and files, we will copy the Temp folder onto the

SH14.

Copy: is to make a duplicate folder or file and store it so that you have two copies.

Move: is to take folder or file from one location and put it into another.

*It is important to understand the difference between Copy and Move
