Those of you that use XP know about the "Safely remove hardware" message. I
was in a class tonight, and the instructor said that if you didn't remove a
flash drive correctly with this message, that you would screw up your HDD!
HUH????????

BTW, I won a 128MB flash drive.

It's all about letting the operating system know about the removal, so
it can cease any data transfers, to prevent data loss or corruption.

Congrats on the win.

Right-click "My Computer", Properties, Hardware Tab, Device Manager.
Expand "Disk Drives", Double-click the flash drive, "Policies Tab".
Check "Optimize for quick removal" and "OK" your way out.
Now you can remove the flash drive without using the Safe Removal Icon.
