Safe Removal of Media Cards and Readers
All versions of Windows
1.
Do not remove your media card from the Reader while data is being read or written to the card. Doing so could corrupt the
media card resulting in a loss of data. The correct way to remove the card is to go to “My Computer”, right-click on the
drive and select “Eject” from the list. Depending on your operating system, this feature may not give you a prompt that
says it was done. After clicking on eject, you can remove the card without corrupting the files on the card.
2.
To safely remove a Media Reader from your computer, click on the “Unplug or Eject Hardware” button found in the right-hand
corner of the Windows taskbar. Failure to follow this step could result in the loss or corruption of data stored on your
media card.
