4.4. STEP 3: Safely Disconnect Hard
Drive from Computer
USB external devices feature “plug & play” connectivity, which
means that your drive can be connected and disconnected while
the computer is running. To prevent failures, however, it is impor-
tant to follow these steps when disconnecting your drive from your
computer.
Windows Users
From the System Tray (located in the lower right-hand side of
your screen), click the Eject icon (a small green arrow over a
hardware image) (
Fig. 34 ).
A message will appear, listing the devices the Eject icon controls
(it should say, “Safely remove...”). Click on the LaCie hard disk
in this prompt.
This message will appear: “Safe to Remove Hardware” (or simi-
lar). It is now safe to disconnect the device.
Mac Users
Drag the hard disk icon to the trash ( Fig. 35 ).
When the icon disappears from the desktop, the drive can be
disconnected.
