Accessing Drive for Vegas Project at DVinfo.net

Pardon the possible turbo-ignorance of this dilemma, but I have a USB drivefilled with HD files I'd like to send to an alternate drive on my computer. My C: Local Drive is stuffed, and I have to use another drive for storage purposes. With tape I was able to switch preferences for capturing, but somehow I can't figure how to bypass C: and get the HD files into another internal drive on my computer. When I see "Send To" it lists everything but the other alternate drive.

Thanks!

Open My Computer and browse to your internal drive.
Open another instance of My Computer, browse to the external drive and start copying or moving the files from one drive to the other.

Some folks like using Windows Explorer to do this but I personally prefer having two separate windows open.
