Windows 7/Vista: Windows 7 and Windows Vista have MTP support built in. Thus, just need to plug the Thrive in using the Mini USB cables and it came up under My Computer as AT100. And then you can transfer video, movie, music, etc to Toshiba Thrive from PC as you need.
Windows XP: Windows XP does not have MTP support built in like Vista/Win7 does. The only way we figure out how to install MTP support in XP was to install Windows Media Player (version 10 or higher). And then you can plug the Thrive in using the Mini USB cables and it comes up under My Computer as AT100. Now you can transfer media files video, movie, music to Toshiba Thrive from PC as you need. - Tip: Another transfer option is to use a file manager that can see your network shares. Here we recommend the free ES File Explorer, which can enable you to copy folders across that way. It’s slow but no duplicating of effort.
