Windows 2000 used write-caching on removable drives, and basically it was
a
bad idea, causing numerous cases of data being lost when the drive was
unplugged because the user wrongly thought that writing was finished.
XP-onward turns off write-caching by default.

To manage removable disks, run diskmgmt.msc

Thanks for the advice. I think you meant "Disk Drive Propteries", "Write
caching and safe removal", "Optimize for performance". When I select that it
says the option will come into effect when I reboot. After reboot, it goes
back to the default which I don't want.

I think that to make this work, I need some advice on how to use Registry
Editor to enable write caching. Thanks.
