2.3. Disconnecting Your LaCie Hard Drive

USB external devices feature “plug & play” connec- tivity, which means that your drive can be connected and disconnected while the computer is running. To prevent failures, however, it is important to follow these steps when disconnecting your LaCie hard drive.

Windows Users

1.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 im- age).

2.A message will appear, listing the devices the Eject icon controls (it should say, “Safely re- move...”). Click on the LaCie hard drive in this prompt.

3.This message will appear: “Safe to Remove Hardware” (or similar). It is now safe to discon- nect the device.

Mac Users

1.Drag the hard drive icon to the trash.

2.When the icon disappears from the desktop, the drive can be disconnected.
