Anybody else notice this? Jim Yes, that started in Vista. At first I thought there was a problem, but soon found it was normal and haven't had a problem removing media after choosing to safely remove them. Just don't forget to do that with an external hard drive using USB and then try to use it with another OS, or you will have to plug it back into a Windows machine and then safely remove it. The HD gets flagged and can't be mounted otherwise. ALWAYS choose to safely remove, as also Winders gets confused and you wind up not being able to use USB until the problem gets fixed. MS boasted hot swapping, (Not needing to do safe removal), with USB, but that isn't a good idea at all. G'day
