    Thankyou for the help you have given me, no background music or high five intros. Just plain old English that I can understand at a reasonable pace. You are a scholar sir!

    By far the best instructional computer video I've come across, which guides us slowly and clearly through the subject in hand. The web is full of useless 'help' vids where the instructor races through things far too fast. Thank you!

    Is there a difference between sending a file to another drive and copying a file to another drive? Does the quality of the files change depending on which method you use?

    There is no difference and the quality does not change because the transfer is digital.
