2.5. Disconnecting Your LaCie Hard
Drive
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 important to
follow these steps when disconnecting your LaCie hard drive.
Mac Users
1. Drag the hard disk icon to the trash.
2. When the icon disappears from the desktop, the drive can
be disconnected.
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 image).
2. A message will appear, listing the devices the Eject icon
controls (it should say, “Safely remove...”). Click on the
LaCie Little Disk in this prompt.
3. This message will appear: “Safe to Remove Hardware” (or
similar). It is now safe to disconnect the device.
