How to unmount and turn off the Drive

When a device, such as a hard drive, is "mounted" to a computer,
that means the computer has established a communications link
with it. When you unmount a device, the communications link is
severed and the computer can no longer access it.
Never turn off a hard drive or disconnect any cables while it is
mounted. You may lose data or damage the drive.
1. In the system tray at the bottom of your screen, click the safely
remove/icon (the icon with the green arrow). A pop-up message will
appear with a list of devices connected to your computer.
2. Select the Toshiba Drive. After a few seconds the Drive will
unmount and Windows will give you a message that it is safe to
remove the device.
3. Click OK. You can then safely turn off the Drive.
If you turn off the Drive after you shut down your computer, you
do not need to manually unmount it. The Drive will unmount
automatically when the computer shuts down.
