Hi mary414,

First use My Computer to Explore your A: drive, then
select the file you want to copy and click Edit > Copy
from the top menu bar of that window (next to File).

Next:
Use My Computer to Explore your C: drive and navigate
to your Windows (or WINNT) folder and then drill down
to open your System32 folder and click Edit > Paste
from the top menu bar of that window (next to File).
