SUMMARY
=======

Brief disk activity may occur after you see the "It's now safe to turn off your
computer" screen.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The disk activity that occurs after you see the "It's now safe to turn off your
computer" screen does not write any data to the hard disk and is not a source of
potential data loss. All disk data in memory is written to the hard disk before
you see the "It's now safe to turn off your computer" screen. After you see this
screen, any additional disk activity is the result of multiple hard disk reset
commands.
