I don't have *THIS* model from Micca, but on my Micca Slim, it has a micro USB port (which I notice this one has too on the upper-left corner in the picture of the back) that is used to connect to the computer and use as an external hard drive.

Thanks, I'll look into how that is done. Also, can a flashdrive handle a program this large or only just files?

It only needs to be done if you want to save files over 4 GB. There may be some cases where FAT32 is preferred,such as plugging this drive into the USB port of a stand alone DVD player for avi, mp3 files,etc. They may requireFAT32 like a flash drive.To format to NTFS right click the external drive under My Computer.Then hit Format.

You can purchase a free standing drive unit that connects by USB. I have one and used it to load programs.

I had a dying desktop, so it was challenging to rescue the old files. Finally was able to offload everything to a backup hard drive (I just cherrypicked the files I wanted to save), then uploaded them to my new laptop, plus had a backup copy ready made. Took most of a weekend. I had close to a hundred GB of data, mostly music mp3's and photos, so the CD solution was not reasonable. An object lesson - it pays to keep your files backed up. You can save your Word docs without purchasing Word, but you will need to buy Word eventually. You can use a notepad program instead to read your old files, but very tedious, and much of your info will not be readable. I had a dying desktop, so it was challenging to rescue the old files.

I use mine like any other external hard drive. Read/Write like any other hard drive on the system.

I may not be understanding the question entirely, but once I formatted the drive to Mac, I could edit and save basic documents to the drive. But my pc treats it like a read only drive. Hope that helps.

No, it's an unformatted drive with no software loaded. You will need your own software to load.

The hard drive will record over the previous data by it's self. You don't have to do anything. If there is any data you want to save you will have to down load it before the hard drive rewrites over it.

My son (more computer literate than me!) plugged in the buffalo hard drive, went to Start/Control Panel/Backup restore and follow the instructions. highlight the file you want to back up and go. It can take quite q while the first time.

Load them on a thumb drive and use the thumb drive to load them on your pic frame program

Your could do if the Flash drive is big enough. Personally I use an external hard drive to back up data. and just use the flash drives for portable data. If you want to back up more than just data [software/ settings] then you would need disc replicating software.

I don't remember for sure. I think I used 'Convert e: /fs:ntfs' and it only took a few seconds, so even if it's not it's no big deal

Mine is not working properly. when I save files over 128GB. The files disappear and I have only empty folders even though the drive shows that the space is being used. It is a waste of money.

I haven't tried, but I don't know why you couldn't. I've scanned to both my hard drive and the "cloud". During the scan process you're asked where you want to store the file. I'm sure a flash drive would show as a choice. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have all my documents saved by default to the f:drive, and primary games and programs on the c:drive(SSD). instructions explain it very well.

The drive would be "raw", you would want to lay down a fresh file system related to intended use.
