Safe removal of media cards and readers

All Versions of Windows
1. Do not remove media cards from the Media Reader while data is being
read or written to the card. Doing so could corrupt the media card
resulting in a loss of data.
Note: The safest method for removing the card is to use the "Eject"
feature provided by your Windows operating system. To use the eject
feature, find the drive icon for the media you wish to remove in "My
Computer". Right-click the drive icon then select "Eject". Depending
on the operating system, the "Eject" feature may or may not
provide a prompt stating that it is safe to remove your media.
Whether you receive the prompt or not, after selecting "Eject" it is
safe to remove the card without fear of file corruption.
2. To safely remove a Media Reader from your computer, click on the
"Unplug or Eject Hardware" button found in the right-hand corner of
the Windows task bar. Failure to follow this step could result in
the loss or corruption of data stored on your media card.
