From: "Sherri" <ldrbelties@earthlink.net> The one thing you need to make sure of is that you properly eject the drive before removing it from the USB port or you take the chance on corrupting the entire drive and losing everything (spoken by one that's had the personal experience of doing that!) Sherri, what is the proper way to eject the drive????? I always just click on the X in the upper right hand corner to close it & then unplug the USB port. Is that OK? Or should I do it another way?
