I was able to do the first method here, putting my laptop pics onto my new flash drive, but on some photos it says "error" and file may be something or other. I have a ton of pics on here and not sure why some wouldnt be ok. Also, are we supposed to format a flashdrive before putting anything on it? Thank you. ( I did press "eject" before taking the flashdrive out",

[@lonelyheroine]

Thanks for the easy instructions. How many GBs do you recommend for this process? I have a lot of files to transfer. Thanks.
