format the flash card in the keyboard,, then take that to computer and copy the files to the formatted flash card,, then they should show up when you insert the card into the pa80.
Can I suggest you do a global backup of you setup to a spare flash card FIRST before you mess around as some things may get lost.
If you are new to all this it's a bit tricky to work out,, it depends on what you want to load.
IIRC, Loading sets will likely erase all the performance patch settings.
Flash card info is on page 130 on my pa50sd manual but should be very similar to pa80.

Oh I see ,,well you will have to purchase a flash card reader.
They are not expensive and plug into a USB port.
Windows will see it as an external drive or removable disk.
So unless you have an ancient computer it will have a usb port built in.

I have no idea what computer you have so just find a computer shop and ask for a flash card reader that plugs into your USB port. They are very common, so common they even sell them at my supermarket.
If you do not have a USB port then seek advice from a computer repair shop.
