Relocating Files

My Documents
1. Make sure you have SD card or SDHC inserted to your Eee Pc or Laptop. You can also make use of your Partition drive for other laptops or desktop pc. Another option is by using a USB Flash Drive. Since you are transferring My Documents, it should be transferred to something that you almost do not remove from your laptop.
