Sure - it's one of those things that is so simple but so not what your hand wants to do - and of course it really sounds condescending to ask "are you sure you are left-clicking"?

Hi -

Yes, this really should be in those instructions, as it's easy but a bit odd.

What you need to do is single left-click the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the system tray. Then it should open and allow you to stop the device.

If you either double-click or right-click, you will get an error and it won't work.

P.S. for others reading this - this applies to Windows 2000 models only. For XP, you shouldn't need to do this at all, just wait until all files are saved then pull out the drive.

Hi, I'm sure this has already been address ,but ... I've found the info about the "adding one or more drive letters for USB devices connected to the gates library computer" but I can't seem to find any definite info about how to allow patrons to "safely remove hardware". What have I missed. I've looked and searched, but I can't seem to find it. Help!? T.I.A.!
