Unmounting SD card?

unscented · 10-17-2011, 04:17 PM

I'm a fairly new Nook Color owner and love it so far. I've gotten a lot of help by searching topics in this Forum - THANKS!

I have a question I've been unable to find here - it may be one of those questions that has an embarassingly obvious answer, but I'm giving up and asking anyway. My NC is not rooted so I just have the "out of the box" functionality. Today I bought a micro SD card; put it in my camera, took some pictures, put it in the Nook and was able to view them and post via the web app. So far, so good!

When I removed the card, I got a warning notification that it was not "unmounted" correctly. I know what that means and how to do it on a PC, but cannot for the life of me figure out a way to "unmount" the card on the Nook. Do I just have to Power OFF?

Go to Settings => Device info => SD card.
There you will find an option to unmount the SD card.

Oh geez... why did I not think of "Settings?" Thank you!
