Hi All,
As my internal HDD had crashed, I started using my external 500 GB Seagate HDD powered by USB as a boot device installed with ubuntu. However, I started getting errors while trying to boot my system.Even though my system works fine now, I am afraid whether my external HDD is turned off properly. Please advise us me the correct procedure to spin down my external HDD before shut down.
