3.2. Unmounting Your Drive
In order to avoid file corruption on your external hard drive or inter-
nal hard disk installed in the LaCinema Mini HD Bridge, you should
unmount its volume before unplugging the USB cable.
Windows XP Users
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) (Fig. 25).
A message will appear, listing the devices the Eject icon controls
(it should say, “Safely remove...”). Click on the LaCie hard drive
in this prompt.
This message will appear: “Safe to Remove Hardware” (or simi-
lar). It is now safe to disconnect the device.
Windows Vista & Windows 7 Users
From the System Tray (located in the lower right-hand side of
your screen) click on the plug icon (note the white check mark
inside a green circle) (Fig. 26).
A message will appear, detailing the devices that may be safely
unmounted.
Select Eject for the device you wish to unmount (Fig. 27). A
message will appear notifying you that it is safe to remove the
device.
Mac Users
Drag the drive icon to the trash (Fig. 28). (The icon pictured be-
low is a generic USB device icon. Your drive may be represented
by an icon that looks like the drive itself.)
When the icon disappears from the desktop, the drive can be
disconnected.
