2. Using your mouse, click on the card that you want to remove. A screen will

You do not need to reboot your notebook when changing most cards because your

notebook supports "hot-swapping." This means you can usually insert a PC Card

and have it recognized by the system without shutting down your notebook or even

putting it into Suspend mode. See your PC Card's documentation for further

information.
