Insert the USB drive in one of three USB ports on the side of the display of the laptop. The SD card inserts into a slot under the display.

The following applies to a USB drive. The procedure for an SD card is identical except the icon is different.

Go to the Journal view, which you can access from the Home View. Select the notebook icon just below the XO character to open the Journal.

The USB icon Usbkey.png appears in the lower left corner of the display.

To save a file from the Journal to the USB drive, move the curser over the Journal item and drag it to the USB icon.

To retrieve a file from the USB drive, first click on the USB icon itself (rather than the number or text above the word "Unmount"), drag the item from the USB drive to the journal icon.

If you are Linux-inclined, the USB drive's filesystem is automatically mounted under /media.
