Re: Safely Remove External Drive

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I had some problems with Norton's System Works which I have resolved except
that now my external USB causes the whole system to reboot when I turn it
off after using safe removal OK. The drive is a 40 MB drive formatted
NTFS. Any ideas why this might be occuring and any solutions. By the way I
took Sytem Works back and obtained a refund.

Cheers

I don't think one can ever have too many resources. ;-)) I have meade
some enquiries but don't expect anything back until early next week. I am
not a systems engineer and have said everyting I can that I feel is
reasonable and accurate.

If you are correct, Microsoft would be wise to make some revisions in
certain dialogue message text and recommended provisions and procedures
for USB and other drive removal.

The device in question might be a USB HD. The poster is not specific on
that point. However, that does not change the issue.
