New Wallet split the save

[Retheric]

I'm unsure if I did something wrong, but I cannot log into my wallet without my thumb drive plugged in. I think I saved something to it. However the exe / wallet are installed on my computer. I would like to access my wallet without the flash drive, is there a way to do this? I tried copying the wallet file to my computer but it did not work, maybe its in the wrong spot? I don't fully understand how all this is working. 

I just had one of my USB ports on my computer quit working, it leaves one left, I want to make sure everything will be fine if the other port goes out. 

Also, as long as I have my address and secret key I should be able to make a new wallet is that correct? So maybe I can uninstall and reinstall? 

I already have Ripple in my wallet, so I'm afraid to lose it if I do something wrong.
