Deleting hard disks from the system
Depending on the operating system, the external hard disk must be
disconnected before it can be deleted. This is usually the case for
Windows 2000. Read how this works in the help files of your
operating system.
1. Disconnect the hard disk from the operating system if necessary
using the safely remove hardware wizard.
2. Now pull out the plug and disconnect all the connection cables
from the external hard disk.
Caution!
While accessing the hard disk, the hard disk must not be
deleted or turned off. This can lead to data loss.
You can see that data is being transmitted when the LED
display flashes blue. When the LED display is
constantly blue, no data is being transmitted. However,
you should make sure that all files that you have opened
from the hard disk (documents, etc.) have been closed
again before you delete or turn off the hard disk.
