You restart Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me), and then attach to your computer a Universal Serial Bus (USB) or an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE) 1394 external storage device. The device does not appear in the My Computer window or in Windows Explorer, and is not accessible.
