[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1607083, member: 56379"] Hey...we're all in a hurry...and this "yanking out" is done by lots of folks.;) The data/file issues don't always happen everytime...so if folks don't always experience issues...it probably makes the habit of yanking-out not a concern. But I think that if this is done enough...statistically...things catch up with us.;) If I'm understanding your situation correctly (plug the external HD in at night, unplug in the morning). Maybe if you disconnect the HD at night (after dragging the icon to the trash)...then sleep or shutdown the computer for the night. Then you can just "grab & go" in the morning.:) Hopefully this solves the problem.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
