I'm using WinXP-pro, and plugged a small card-reader device into a USB port.
The card-reader reads MemorySticks, like those in Sony Camcorders, some
cameras, and some card-type external "drives".
This simple device (Lexar Media, JumpDrive Trio) does not require any
drivers at all, you just put a memory-stick in, and it comes up as the E:
drive, then you copy or play files off of it.
There's a small icon that appeared in the bottom-right task bar... a grey
one with a green arrow that, when pointed to, says "safely remove hardware".
Could an MVP or other expert possibly help with...
1) What happens if I click or double-click this icon?
2) Why would an icon appear about "removing" hardware?
3) If something were to happen when I click it (say it deletes the
fictitious E: drive), would all I do is unplug/replug...and it would pop up
the E: drive along with the icon again? Or would the E: drive and icon
re-appear with just a re-boot?
Thanks,
George
