Unmount
UnmountUnmounting a disk makes it inaccessible by the computer. Of course,in order for a disk to be unmounted,it must first be?mounted. When a disk is mounted,it is active and the computer can access its contents. Since unmounting a disk prevents the computer from accessing it,there is no risk of the disk being disconnected in the middle of a data transfer. Therefore,before removing an external data storage device,such as a USB flash drive,the disk should be unmounted to avoid possible data corruption. Several types of disks can be unmounted,including?external hard drives,USB flash drives,iPods,?flash memory?cards,and?disk images. In order to unmount a disk in Windows,open "My Computer," select the disk,and click the "Eject this disk" option in the left sidebar. In Mac OS X,select the disk on the?desktop?and either drag the disk to the trash (which changes to an Eject icon),or select "File→Eject" from the Finder's menu bar. Once a removable disk has been unmounted,it can safely be disconnected from the computer. (编辑:李大同) 【声明】本站内容均来自网络,其相关言论仅代表作者个人观点,不代表本站立场。若无意侵犯到您的权利,请及时与联系站长删除相关内容! |
