Many of them have a function you tab to called Eject or something like that.
If you just pull one of those things out without following proper protocol,
you can cause the Remote Control function in your PC to start acting up and
sending error messages. Just plug in your drive and there's usually a
document somewhere that tells you how to disconnect it, properly.

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
