I am well impressed that I actually managed to upload pictures from my camera onto my laptop :j Never managed before.
But, I seem to remember my son warning me not to just pull the cable out of the laptop when I had finished because there is a safe way to remove hardware
I have tried searching on here and Google but I have to admit defeat.
Anybody help?

often best to click on Safely Remove Hardware icon (located on bottom right of taskbar) and then unplug the device

It depends on what OS you have.
With most Linux distros you have to right-click the drive and choose "unmount volume".
In Win XP there should be a "safely remove hardware" icon in the Systray (bottom right corner). Click on that and it will let you remove hardware - just choose the correct drive letter.
Vista's probably similar, but I've never used it so don't know for sure.0 -
Well...how easy was that :rotfl:
I have Vista...never even noticed the icon on the bottom.
Thanks both :T0 -
