USB Flash-drive write cache

J

Josh Smith

I have a generic usb flash drive. I want to avoid stopping the device with
the "Unplug/Eject Hardware" wizard like I do in WinXP. Although write-cache
is off (in device manager write-cache checkbox is disabled) if I disconnect
it without stopping it, I lose data.

Any ideas?
Thanks.
