Not necessarily - could just be an older drive that isn't large enough/fast enough.

This is one of my biggest frustrations with Vista. Before it was almost impossible for me to be able to eject a USB hard drive, now it is impossible any time. But now, I can't even "safely remove" my thumb drive. I've exited out of all programs, down to the AV and sidebar and even stopped the index service. Nothing suspicious is seen in the task manager. I'm just at a loss. I've tried process monitor and can't get it to show me anything. -- Mike Gill This email and any attached files are confidential and intended solely for the intended recipient(s).
