Help!! USB Flash Drive

So I am totally lost, my computer crashed last week and I needed a whole new motherboard, memory, & hard drive. The computer guy told me to get this USB flash drive and transfer all my files from old hard drive to new harddrive, so I thought I got everything off my old harddrive onto the USB because it said half of the USB was used up, but I can't figure out how to get the files from the USB onto the new drive, when I put the USB in it says all the folders are empty?

If your still with me thanks in advance for the help!

Re: Help!! USB Flash Drive

it should come up as a drive not a folder.. double click on My Computer and then you should see it..and then it'll open it up with all of your files..

Yes I still have it, did I not transfer everything correctly? It said I used up like 4.48 out of 7.56 something like that. I really don't need to transfer everything I am more concerned with my itunes
