IMO this is a very cumbersome workaround for a rare issue. If you eject drives before removing them you will almost never have problems. Flash drives should be viewed as temporary or convenience storage ONLY. NEVER have the only copy of a file on one, because they do fail and fail unpredictably. follow those two rules and you can use them without worries. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
