Unplugging from USB

[kym]

When I unplug my Pendrive 2.0 from my front USB port using
the correct Windows hardware removal tool which is in the
desktop tray, my computer reboots.
I have since updated windows xp with some patches that
apply to USB 2 and 1.1 problems but this has not fixed it.
All file transfers work ok to and from the mass storage
device - it is just the unplugging of it from the system
that is the problem.

I'm not sure about this, but isn't a pen-drive hot swappable
as long as it isn't being read/written at the time? Just be
sure that the computer has finished with any reads/writes
and pull it out. The hardware removal tool should have a
reboot.

I haven't bought a pen-drive yet, but I think you just plug
it in and pull it out.

Is there any information about this problem on the mftr.'s website?
Maybe a known issue?

You must stop the device first. Do you see the small unplug icon in
your system tray? Right click on that icon and follow directions to
stop the Pendrive. Once stopped, the message will be "It's safe to
remove". Then removing the Pen drive should not cause your machine
to reboot.
