    I don't have an Archos but I'd imagine you should load up a file manager (like EStrongs File Manager).

    I'd say this will see your USB key as a folder and allow you to copy and paste files from it to your internal memory. That's how it works for copying files from SD card to my phone with it.

    For your Flash do you know if your Archos has been updated to Android 2.2? It definitely needs that to start with.

    As other poster said, use a file explorer to copy files from usb stick onto internal memory. It's exactly the same as if you were to copy them onto a PC hard disk.

    Adobe Flash is so slow it's unusable at the moment. There should be an update to fix this soon. The Archos 10 isn't worth using unless you tweak it. Go settings -> about device -> power management -> set to overdrive. Install google market, and launcher pro etc.

    This device is not worth it unless you get someone (slightly) technical to set it up for you. If you get it tweaked/fixed tho it's the best tablet around. Problem is lots of non-technical users are giving it terrible reviews for these (justifiable) reasons.

    Back again!! Think we got the photos sorted and went to reboot after loading them but now we seem to be stuck in a loop, it won't turn off or allow us to get back in. When I enter my password it goes to archos setup wizard and then just bounces back, a message comes up saying 'Process system not responding'. Have we killed it??? :eek:

    Please help!!

    Ermmmmmmmm I've never seen mine do that :) Did you unmount the USB properly or did you just plug it out? Can corrupt files that way, so always unmount thingy first.

    Anyway, you can reset it back to factory default:
    Here is the manual: http://www.archos.com/manuals/A101_EN_v1.1.htm#zzee_link_83_1294044103
    Refer to 20.3 for how to reset, it's pretty easy.

    Why did you reboot after loading pictures!? When you enter your password? What password? Anyway, so save a lot of messing around just factory reset it. If this problem repeats itself bring it back for replacement. I had to get mine replaced, I had dodgy pre-release one, the usb port wouldnt work :(

    edit:
    NOTE: When you have finished copying files the device will do a "media scan" of the whole lot. If you have LOADS of photos this can take a while. Just leave the device while this runs, don't interrupt it. Yes it's a bit annoying, something else archos said they would fix in next patch.
