Very basic question:
I want to drag stuff, e.g. photos, onto my new Lenovo. It's not clear (to me) what one is meant to do. I dragged and dropped into a folder on the Lenovo called 'DCIM'. My guess for viewing photos is to use 'Gallery'; but the message from Gallery suggests that there should be an SD disk present.

put the photos in the "Camera" folder IN the DCIM folder (if it's not there, make a folder with that name).

try that, worked for me (i can drag photos from iPhoto on my mac to that folder, and they show up fine.

u might want to check out 'quickpic' on the android market, it's a much better photo viewer...
