E. Disconnecting the MicroKey

Windows 2000 and XP

1. Locate the system tray on your Windows Desktop (the system tray is the

part of the taskbar that displays the date and time).

2. Click on the “Safely Remove Hardware” icon

in the system tray.

3. Follow the instructions to remove the device from your computer.

NOTE: To protect against unexpected data loss, Windows checks that
all files on the disk are closed before allowing the USB device to be
removed. If you receive an error message that says

“The device cannot

be stopped right now. Try stopping the device again later.” Close all
Windows and Programs that are using files on the MicroKey, then repeat
the procedure.
