disk drive, just like a floppy disk or CD.  You can download (transfer) images by copying them
from the removable disk (untitled disk on a Macintosh) to your computer hard drive as
described in the prior section.
For Computers Running Windows
Open the “removable disk” and subsequent folders by double clicking on them.  Double click
on the folder. Your images are inside these folder(s). Select the images that you want, then
choose “Copy” from the “Edit” menu. Open the destination location (folder) and choose “Paste”
