It says in my manual for my flash drive that you don't have to 'safely remove hardware' in XP, but maybe i should start doing so now after you've mentioned that.
Pen Drives how good are they.

When i click on the remove hardware icon in the taskbar, there are 2 USB mass storage devices in the list and i don't know which one is the flash drive and which one is the printer.
I've been using several pen drives on multiple computers for at least four years. They get inserted and removed at least once a day, and I've never once used the "safely remove hardware" thingy.
Its not how many times a day its inserted or removed ( oh err missus...)
Its a function of how quickly you remove it after just having written something to it.
do to with XP flushing its buffers, doing it 'safely' forces them to be flushed, other wise XP will do it in its own good time which may well be just after you un plugged it.
you must have a posh one, never seen a manual for one - pdf or otherwise

Although it doesn't look (or smell
) as good lol.
