[QUOTE="chaos.theorist, post: 567257, member: 43915"] you should actually be doing this on your windows PC as well. if the OS has a file on the drive locked because it's in use, unplugging it without first ejecting or stopping the device can actually corrupt the contents. the mac, right-click, eject is actually much more simple than the XP 'safely remove hardware' routine. but you should be ejecting the device under both OS's....
