Subject: [Blind-Computing] is there a particular way to unplug a
flash drive

Hi list,
I have a flash drive, that I want to start using instead of
relying on floppy disks, which tend to be more fragile. As I understand it, I just plug the flash drive into one of the USB ports on my computer. And it should show up as drive E in the "my computer" list. Is that correct?
From what I understand, when using a USB external hard
drive, you are meant to select the "safely remove hardware" option from somewhere on the computer before unplugging the external drive from the computer? Is this correct? And where do I find that option for when I start using my external drive? Do you have to follow the same procedure for unplugging a USB flash drive? And are Flash drives and USB hard drives regarded as the same thing? As I have a 500 gig external hard drive. And an only 1 gig flash drive.
Thanks Jason
