I don't see a question related to your subject line. However, but the rule
of thumb is you should always use "safely remove hardware" located in the
system tray prior to disconnecting most USB external devices. I learned this
the hard way because I crashed my Ipod a couple of years ago by just
snatching it out of the computer.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Unplugging external drives
Hi everyone,
I have been using flash drives on my personal computers and my school
district computers for yearrs and have had no problem whatsoever. This
also includes a hard drive I once used, and my printer/scanner. I did the
following:
1. If possible, select a USB port that you always want to use for the
flash drive.
2. Always wait for the windows sound to know that the computer is
recognizing your drive
3. When finished, exit all used programs, including windows explorer
before disconnecting the external USB device.
4. When disconnecting your USB device, wait for the windows sound before
continuing with your next task.
Russ
