Hi John. You can disconnect such a device, like a thumb drive, external
hd, etc, as long you're not accessing files on it or trying to copy
files or folders to it, etc. If you want to be safe, however, go to the
start menu and in the search box type device, and choose devices and
printers. There you can look for whatever device it might be that is
connected to your computer and right click, or press the applications
key, and choose the appropriate option.
Hope that helps!

I am using Windows 7 Professional and Jaws 13.
Up till now, with earlier versions of Windows software, when an external
device was connected to my system, I would find a "Disconnect" option in the
System Tray.
With Windows 7, that doesn't seem to be the case.
1. How can you safely remove an external USB driven device without
creating file corruption problems or other related issues?
2. Is it safe to remove or disconnect one of these devices when no
"disconnect" option appears in the System Tray?
3. If the answer to question two is no, where can I find the option
which will allow me to safely disconnect my devices?
