How do you eject a thumb drive in XP?
there is a little green icon in the lower right of most XP screens that is for disconnecting external devices. Anything like a removeable second drive in a laptop, thumb drive, FW drive, USB drive, flash card, PC wireless card or modem card, etc will be on the little pop up list. If you have a FW card for example, you can unmount the drive, but leave the PC FW card active. You could "eject" a FW card with a mounted drive plugged in, but that is probably the same as yanking the cable on the drive.
