Hello, I hope I'm in the right forum. I searched for this problem but wasn't lucky.

I just plugged in my newly purchased "USB Kingston Data Traveler 4GB Flash Driver" to backup my computer...but instead, I get strange messages, mostly on "how to safely unplug the hardware device", or "stop it", etc. (???).

Also, a popup msg says to use a certain name (dont' recall) because it is faster...

I thought all I had to do was plug it in and wait to see what appeared on the screen in order to follow the steps to backing up...

Would a kind soul please help me by telling me HOW to do it? Thanks ever so much! Adela
