for restart do i need to eject the HD

[Greg14]

I just installed a WD 500 gb pro with superduper.

I had to restart and it would not reopen the spinning wheel kept spinning.
I have to do a shut down .

I did not eject the HD, is that necessary ??
Perhaps it was the software that I loaded but I am checking this end as it would be good to know if a eject is necessary,

Thanks,
Greg

No, ejecting the HD isn't necessary: it sounds like it was having some kind of trouble during the restart -- not responding properly.

as usual, thanks Greg
