Removing memory media
1
Prepare the card for removal by clicking on the Show hidden
icons button ( ), if necessary, in the notification area and then
selecting the Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media
icon.
If the system is unable to prepare the media for safe removal, a
message will tell you to try again later. If the media can be
removed now, the system displays Safe to Remove Hardware.
If the computer has a spring-loaded adapter slot, see step 2;
otherwise, skip to step 3.
Do not use the Copy Disk function for this type of media. To copy
data from one media to another, use the drag-and-drop feature of the
®
Windows
operating system.
When inserting memory media, do not touch the metal contacts. You
could expose the storage area to static electricity, which can destroy
data.
