Win2K and Flash Drives

[Steve F]

OK, USB Flash Drive. Insert into a 2k machine, sees the drives and am able
to write to it. If I remove the flash drive and then re-insert, the files
are not there. If I created the file in word, I see the file as a tmp file.
I assume that the OS has not fully commited the files to the drive. If I do
the same thing in XP it works fine with no issues

Note...not using safely eject, due to user restrictions on the
desktop...this cannot be changed. As I said, works perfect under XP, just
not 2K.

We plan on rolling this to a large population of users, but half the
machines are 2K.

Is there a way to make the drive commit the files to the drive? i.e. a
script, a utility, a process, a service, etc? As I said, there is no way we
can change the saftely eject properties....so thats not an option. Thanks
for the help.

try to use chkdsk with your flsh drive with admin previleges,
Win2k would not have to be a problem, on many machines.
hope this help, Carlos.
