    Your PC may be using write caching. Look in your taskbar for a green arrow icon. Click on it and follow instructions to stop your external device when you are done using it. Then you can unplug it safely.

    Or if you have WinXP, go to My Computer.
    Right click on the hard drive name.
    Select Properties.
    Click on the Hardware tab.
    Click Properties again.
    Click the Policies tab.
    Make sure "Optimize for Quick Removal" is selected.
