iPad novice, file transfer from Windows PC

As an iPad novice (iPad 2), how can files be transferred from a 'Windows' laptop to the iPad; USB preferred - very slow internet? via local router?
I understand that music files will have to be reformatted from the current 'wma' to an apple version - how is this achieved, simplest quickest method; is it possible to reduce the file size beforehand or during transfer?
Can an iPad access a 'Windows' external hard drive with a USB connection - probably require double female USB connect?
How might an iPad react to a Norton backup file?

iPad - Pprune always starts with a mobile format whereas I prefer the desk top version. Previous thread suggestions have been evaluated, and although the format can be forced to changeover this is not remembered for the next start up - have played with cookies selection and Pprune preferred format without success.
