utility for safe removal of usb drives win98se?
I have usb hard drives, flash card readers and thumb drives.
I have ONE hard drive with a Cypress chip that behaves properly in Win98SE. I get an icon in the system tray that lets me safely remove the drive. None of the other devices cause the icon to appear. (they all behave properly in winXP). I've installed the unofficial service pack. The flash card readers let me right click and eject the drive. But that doesn't work on the thumb drives...although I've not YET had any data corruption just ripping them out. I've loaded all the 98 software that came with the drives. I have trashed my hard drive on the two hard drives that don't enable the safe removal icon. The drives are bigger than 137GB, so I can't just scandisk them to fixup drive corruption. Scandisk thinks there's not enough memory???? Is there a workaround for this? I have been able to scan the drives on an XP system in a pinch. Is there a registry tweek or a (free) utility that will make all the hard drives safely removable in 98SE? Thanks, mike -- Wanted, Serial cable for Dell Axim X5 PDA.
