USB pen drive?

Default USB pen drive?

I use this between a Win2K and a WinXP machine. In the Win2K it gives me
the message "It's now safe to remove" after clicking the remove hardware
icon in System Tray but in XP it just disappears from the external devices
box, no message. Is this normal in XP? It doesn't appear to do any harm
removing it after this (?) but am wondering why no message.

Default RE: USB pen drive?

The three that I have plugged into USB hub two are FAT
(32mb) and one FAT32 (64mb). The remove safely notice
started when I installed the 64mb drive and is the only
one with password option. I have just removed them 100
times and plugged into my handheld PDA and no problems
with data. The FAT32 did not defrag until a few months
ago....now it defrags. I am looking to get a 512mb drive
this week.
