What do 'mounting' and 'dismounting' mean? When a
device such as a hard drive is mounted, that means the
computer 'sees' the device and is able to communicate with
it. When you dismount a device, the computer no longer
sees it. The device may still be running but the computer
cannot access it, as though the device no longer exists.
Never turn off or unplug a hard drive without dismount-
ing it first. Doing so could cause data on the drive to be
lost or damaged.
How to safely dismount and turn off
the Drive with the computer running

1. Locate the System Tray. The System Tray includes the
time display in the bottom right, and icons to the left of the
time. One of the icons will be an icon with a green, diagonal
arrow on it.
2. Left-click on this icon.
On Windows 98SE/ME a rectangle will appear with the
name of the Drive followed by the drive letter.
On Windows 2000/XP you will receive the alert message
"Safely Remove..." or "Stop..." followed by the drive letter
for the device.
3. Left-click on the appropriate device (with the drive letter
matching the one used by the External Hard Drive). After
a few seconds, Windows will give you a message that it is
safe to remove the device.
