Hardware icon in the taskbar.
3 Select the floppy disk drive and click Stop.
4 Click OK.
5 When you see the message Safe to Remove Hardware, you can unplug the USB cable from the
computer.
✍ To carry your floppy disk drive when you have finished using it, fold the floppy disk cable into the compartment on the side of the floppy disk drive.
