I still can't find a way to "safely remove" the external HD on the Win98 machine. As I said, there was an icon that appeared in the Systray immediately after I installed the drive, so the function has to be there somewhere. I've just been shutting down Win98 and crossing my fingers. So far, there doesn't seem to be any damage to the drive. However, Win98 doesn't shut down automatically like usual; it hangs on shutdown at a blinking cursor. Any help would be appreciated; I searched Windows Help in vain. Perhaps if someone knows the name of the file that runs the "safely remove" I might be able to find it?
Thanks,
Chas
