Windows Forum / Windows Me / Hardware / April 2004USB key device problem...
hello there, i have a problem, in windows Me, when i plug a usb key device, i would like when i unplggeg it to disable the alert message who says:" you have unplgged or ejected a device without stopping it which can cause your computer to crash and lose valuable data. please use the hotplug icon in the staut bar to safely remove devices before unplugging them." so it is possible in a way or another to disable the message or stop this? if somebody knows this it would be very helpfull thank you.... > hello there, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > to disable the message or stop this? if somebody knows > this it would be very helpfull thank you.... Yeah, guess they should call it "lukewarm-pluggable" instead of "hot-pluggable". Do you have any objection to doing what the thing asks you too ? Rick I think here, the distinction is between Hot-PLUGgable - and UNPLUGgable!! The reason for the Stop command is to ensure that all caches are written to the device before it's unplugged. Without some sort of warning the system simply can't know that you've finished with the drive, and so flush the cache to write - and you may lose the end of the last file written.

How does your VB program know that it is safe to remove without losing any dta or causing corruption? > hello and thanks for replying, well... yes it bother me > because, in fact i wrote a program (Visua basic)and i [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > to stop it..(well i know it's suppose to help but in my > case i doesn't...:)) so thanks again for replying... AFAIK, there's no reliable way to switch off the warning/error message - although it is possible to force a cache flush so that you can ensure that the data is written.
