DELETING HARD DISKS FROM THE SYSTEM
Depending on the operating system, the external hard disk must be dis-
connected 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.
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 con-
stantly 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.
