1. From your Blackberry Bold go to Options
2. Next, select Memory
3. Set Mass Storage Mode Support to On
3. Change Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected to Prompt or Yes
5. Here is a screenshot of all these settings:

6. Connect your BlackBerry to your WIndows PC. XP, Vista, or Windows 7 operating systems all handle this the same way.
7. The Windows OS will probably install several drivers. Wait until it is done.
8. Now you should find your BlackBerry device listed under the Computer section (or My Computer on XP)
9. Click on the Blackberry and navigate to the videos or pictures folders

Here is how this looks in XP:

10. Drag and drop media in and out of these folders to exchange the files between your PC and your BlackBerry
