Safe Eject - Flash Drive

You must do this every time you want to remove a Flash Drive or you may corrupt the Flash Drive
  • Save and close any open files using the red X.
  • Go to the Windows Start button in the lower left corner of your screen. 
  • Click on “Computer”
  • In the right side of the window, click on “Removable Disk (E:)” to highlight it.
  • Then click in the blue menu bar where it says “Eject”
  • A small box will appear in the very bottom of your screen that says:
  • Safe To Remove Hardware
  • Only after you see this message can you remove the Flash Drive or you may corrupt it and lose all your files. Ugh!!!!
  • You will notice that the icon for your Removable Disk disappears from your screen.
