Hi all, I'm sorry to resurrect this subject again but I have a query regarding my external hard drive. I have had to connect this to my laptop as my desktop is dying and wonder about the procedure for turning off when I'm leaving it connected to the laptop. Basically, I'm using the laptop on my desk at times and therefore do not need, necessarily, to unplug everything. In this situation, where I'm again going to put the laptop into hybernation and then bring it out again for use, should I go through the "Safely Remove Hardware" procedure before putting the laptop into hybernation? Thanks for clarification on this point. -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faqI don't think so Carol, as hibernation switches off your PC once it's saved the current state of the machine to the hard disk.
