Re: [Blind-Computing] Deleting books from bard cartridges
it's been some time since you sent me these steps, and when I tried them today, just to see if it would work as you listed, I found that it didn't. I have win 7, and I doubt if the version of jaws should effect operation, but I use jaws 8. after I open my computer there is only 1 drive listed, D, which is for disks, so do you or anyone out there that load books on cartriges from bard, and use win 7 , know how to find the book list on a loaded cartrige? -Original Message- From: Diane Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 8:30 AM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: [Blind-Computing] Deleting books from bard cartridges Here we go. 1. Connect your usable cartridge to the computer with it's USB cord. I use the short cord that goes to my little digital recorder because it is the same kind of cord. It has a big end to plug into the cartridg and a little USB end to plug into the computer. The characters on both ends of the cord are facing up. The cartridge is faceing up the way you would put it in the player. I'm putting this description down in case there is someone who hasn't seen the way this thing goes together. . Go to the desktop. Arrow down to my computer and enter. 3. Arrow down to the drive the cartridge is plugged into. In my case, I have local, CD drive and the burner below it. That is E in my case. When I plug my cartridge in, it says F. 4. Enter on the drive letter your cartridge is plugged into. There will be a list of the books on the cartridge. I start at the top of the list, hold down the control key and hit the spacebar to select the ones I want to delete. That way I don't have to select them without skipping any. I can arrow down and skip one or two in between, if I wish. Holding the left shift key down while you arrow down will select them in the order they are in the list. If I want to get rid of them all at once, which I have done sometimes, I just hit control A, which selects them all to be deleted or moved. 5. After selecting books to be deleted or moved, hit the delete key and it will send them to the recycle bin. I hold down shift and the delet key so that it will bypass the recycle bin. If I want a book again I can download them, anyhow. This whole thing applies to any thumb or external drive. You plug them in and do it the same way. I hope this helps anybody who is beginning with downloading bard books. I have a folder for every letter of the alphabet and one for a music instruction folder. I put all the authors in their separate folders. I am collecting more and more books so that they don't have to be mailed to me. I have lots now. I love my empty cartridges. I didn't have a thumb drive at the time I bought them. God bless. Excuse the novel.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Deleting books from bard cartridges
You're welcome, Tom. I don't go into windows explorer or anything like that. I know you can do it that way, but to me, this is simpler. Hope it helps.
