How to setup picons onto usb stick ViX

[punisher]

In this tutorial I am going to show you how to put picons onto usb stick. This is 1 of a few ways of doing this and for me this is easier than unplugging usb plugging back in etc lol

For this you need a usb stick formatted as fat32 or ext3 and the usb to be mounted correctly in device manager as media/usb
You can check if this is the case by going to Menu/Setup/ViX/Devices Manager and should look like this below;

If your usb isnt mounted correctly then press "Green" to setup mounts then highligh usb and use you left and right arrows on your remote to get to media/usb and then press "Green" to save the settings
