B. Disconnecting

Windows 2000 and XP

1) Locate the system tray on your Windows Desktop (the system

tray is the part of the taskbar that displays the date and time).

2) Click on the “Safely Remove Hardware” icon

in the

system tray. A dialog box will appear.

3) Click ‘Safely Remove hard disk – Drive (D:) in the dialog box.

Note: Your drive letter may be different.

4) Wait for few seconds until the system prompts ‘The hard disk

storage device can now be safely removed from the system.”
Click OK, and then unplug

Aegis Bio.

To protect against unexpected data loss, Windows verifies that all

files on the disk are closed before allowing the USB device to be

removed. If you receive an error message that says “The device

cannot be stopped right now

. Try stopping the device again

later.” Close all programs that are using files from the drive, then

repeat steps 1-4.
