"Hot swappable" question on external drive
On a USB external hard drive that is "hot swappable" in Windows XP, I know to
click the icon for "safe removal" first, but then can the unit simply be turned off, or does the USB plug have to physically be removed from the PC's USB port? Or once safely shut down, can all cables be left intact and simply switched on next time I want to use the external drive? Thanks. RD

You don't need to disconnect any cables. -WD -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =-----
