memory stick
6 Answers
can anyone please help with the following query.
I dont have a home computer and usually use my local library to e-mail and search the web etc. In the past I have used a floppy disc to store work on. A while ago because of a virus I lost all my work. it wasn't to important but obviously I wasn't very happy. I now want to use a memory stick as my library is slowly phasing out floppy discs. Is a memory stick easy to use, can I download music,and store items etc. Any step by step help would be much appreciated.

They are also cheap. My suggestion is to actually buy a card reader and a memory card to fit it. That way you can use it just like a memory stick but keep anything important on separate memory cards.

When using a memory stick or card reader via a PC USB socket, remember when you want to remove it, to click on the �safely remove hardware� which will be located at the left hand end of the task bar (close to the clock) � you will then receive the message �safe to remove hardware�.
By not doing this, you run the risk of corrupting the USB memory stick and/or causing the PC to crash.
