You can use Windows Explorer to transfer music, photo, and video files to your
phone, and from your phone to your PC.
1. Connect your PC and your phone with a DKU-2 USB cable.
Data enhancement connected is displayed on your phone.
2. Open Windows Explorer. Your phone will appear as a local drive (named by Nokia
6255, Nokia 6255i, Nokia 6256, or Nokia 6256i), and with a drive letter assigned
to it.
3. Click on the folders to display a window that shows the contents of the folder on
the phone memory card.
4. Open a second instance of Windows Explorer and display the contents of the
folder on your PC where you have MP3 files, photo files, or video files stored.
5. Select the files on your PC that you wish to transfer to the phone.
6. Drag and drop the files from the second window into the first window and place
in a folder.
7. The files are transferred to the phone and can be played by the Music player, or
accessed by the Media player.
8. If you selected files with more memory than can fit on the phone memory, you
get an error note. Deselect some of your selected files until the selection fits.
9. Disconnect the USB cable by double-clicking the green arrow on the taskbar at
the bottom of your PC screen.
A window pops up that shows Unplug or Eject Hardware.
10. Click on USB Device in the Hardware devices window.
A popup window shows Stop a Hardware device.

The popup window Safe to Remove Hardware is shown with the message

12. Click OK.
Important: To ensure that all memory card operations are completed in a
controlled way, do not unplug the connectivity cable until Windows notifies
you that it is safe to do so. Uncontrolled completion of the memory card
operations may cause the memory card and the information stored on it to
become corrupted. A corrupted memory card may have to be formatted before
it can be used again. When a memory card is formatted, all information on
the card is permanently lost.
