you need to "eject" or " unmount"the device either through "my computer" right click on the drive and click eject... or you will see a little usb device icon in your task bar. double click on that which will bring up your usb devices and eject it from there...The pc will tell you it is now safe to remove your hardware.

sometimes (not all times) it doesnt like just being yanked out. Especially in win98. And since you are transferring data that you want to keep..

I have on a few occasions lost all the data on the usb drive by just yanking it out. Or should i say the data didn't copy to the drive properly.
