tivity, which means that your drive can be connected and
disconnected while the computer is running. To prevent
failures, however, it is important you follow these steps
when disconnecting your LaCie Mobile Hard Drive.

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).
A message will appear, detailing the devices that
the Eject icon controls, i.e. “Safely remove...”.
Click on this prompt.
You will be then given this message: “Safe to
Remove Hardware” (or similar). It is now safe to
disconnect the device.
