1. In the notification area next to your task bar, double-click the Safe Removal icon. Safe Removal
displays a list of Plug and Play devices that support safe removal and that are currently attached
to the system.
If you do not see the Safe Removal icon, your device does not support safe removal, and you cannot
unplug or eject your device using Safe Removal.
2. In Safely Remove Hardware, in the list of devices, select the device that you want to unplug or
eject, and then click Stop. This tells the system that you will be unplugging or ejecting the
device.
3. In Stop a Hardware device, click OK.
A notification appears stating that it is now safe to unplug or eject the device.
Caution
Unplugging or ejecting a device that supports safe removal without first using the Safe Removal
application to warn the system can cause data to be lost or your system to become unstable. For
example, if you use Safe Removal, however, you can warn the system before you unplug or eject a
device, preventing possible loss of data.
Note
For removable storage devices that can safely be removed while the system is on, the system
disables write caching by default. It does this so the devices can be removed without loss of data.
When write caching is disabled, however, the system will likely experience slower performance, so
be sure to enable write caching when you have finished removing the device.
