    The people coming from windows will automatically click on safely remove . People familiar with linux will click on unmount . No offence .

    The people familiar with Linux will look at the three options in confusion and wonder what the difference is. At least, I did.
    I try to treat the cause, not the symptom. I avoid the terminal in instructions, unless it's easier or necessary. My instructions will work within the Ubuntu system, instead of breaking or subverting it. Those are the three guarantees to the helpee.
