Norman, I have always wondered that myself until one day when I did just that with a Kingston drive. It did something horrendous to the files and I had to completely re-format the drive. No fun, I can tell you! Even when you have closed out the files on a drive, the system still thinks that the unit is live.

I would greatly appreciate if someone could tell me whether there exists a JAWS keystroke to safely remove my USB thumb drive. Under Windows XP, one could go into the system tray via insert plus F-12 to get to the safely remove button. However, this does not work in Windows 7. Thanks for any help. cheers, Rob e-mail: [email protected] For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
