another without turning the computer off) fails.
Follow this procedure before you remove a PC Card:
1
Double-click the PC Card icon on the taskbar.
2
Click Safely remove xxxx, where xxxx is the identifier
for your PC Card.
The operating system displays a message that you may safely
remove the card.
3
Remove the card from the slot.

Refer to the PC Card documentation.
Removing a malfunctioning card and reinstalling it can
correct many problems.
A PC Card error occurs.
Reinsert the card to make sure it is properly connected.
If the card is attached to an external device, check that the
connection is secure.
Refer to the card's documentation, which should contain a
troubleshooting section.
