Once you access it, it will appear under Devices.
... I'm embarrassed to say this, I can't even find where "Devices" is.
You should be able to find it under Devices. If not, check the desktop, it might be there. And if not, try copying files to it when you browse it from Disk Utility...
It's really hard for me to describe what's not working. Here's a screenshot:
I try dragging and dropping straight to the usb in device manage (Because I can find it anywhere else), but nothing happens.
I also tried it in cdrom, which the utility said the usb was mounted on. Figured that might work but I always get errors.
i'm going to try doing this by cd... certainly can't hurt, right?
sure...
can't u get an external hdd though?
see wut i do normally is boot ubuntu from a cd, and copy over to a usb...
That's exactly what I did. I just ran a bit of a test using the cd to boot up ubuntu and using the usb to back my stuff up. It worked, so I'm going to get to backing up everything now.
Now before we do the windows reinstalled, I was just wondering about those drivers... it's guaranteed that it'll work, correct? Don't want to be doing that and then left without any drivers after all.
Don't worry, as long as you have you files tucked safely, you're all good. Note, its better to enter your key after installing and updating Windows to SP1, ok? Tell me when you finish install?
