I take it, then, there is nothing special you are supposed to do when
removing a USB drive. Thanks.

unmount the drive before disconnecting to ensure that its buffer gets
flushed (by forcing a write to the drive to empty the cache). Do you
have a PlugNPlay tray icon? If so, open it and the USB hard drive
should be listed where you can then unmount it before unplugging it. If
you don't unmount before unplug, you could lose data.

Thanks.
Yes it's a real hard drive. Hm. I think I've finally figured out
that
the PnP icon is the one called Safely Remove Hardware.
