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.
