Viewing stored files from My Book Essential

I purchased this external hard drive to free up some space on my computer as it is running too slow. I have  “backed up” all my picture and movie files onto the My Book, but now I would like to see what is on it to be able to delete them from my computer. How do I do this? Can this be done? Should have I just bought more internal memorie? Please help. Thanks

I’m sorry I don’t have an answer for you, but thought you could help answer my question — just got the essential and want to backup just my pictures, but can’t seem to find how to keep it from backing everything up…

please let me know how you backed up just pics and movies…

okay – I figured out how to move my pics… I just copied and pasted into the external drive.  You should be able to hook your ebook up to your computer, then click on my computer - ebook (shoudl be listed as a hard drive) then open it and you’ll see what’s there.  Hope that helps …
