[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 846905, member: 24098"] Or you can just drag it to the trash, or highlight it and press the eject key. Windows actually works the exact same way, it's just that it won't warn you by default like OS X does. If you pull a USB drive out while there's an active session with an application, you *will* lose data or damage the file system (or both). This is the reason that there is an icon down in the system tray on Windows XP and Vista that if you hover over it says "Safely Remove Hardware". It's often hidden because most Windows users are blissfully unaware of its existence and purpose. [/QUOTE]
