Default [Answered] 98SE and USB Flash Drive

Hi all, i got one of these for crimbo. Now my problem is, when i want to eject it from my desktop (Windows XP) i go via the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the system tray. I also have a laptop which i use for school, which has 98SE on it, now ill have no trouble connecting it, but how do i disconnect it from the laptop? The instructions are no help at all.

...if you have installed the software that came with the USB drive AND all your USB stuff is installed on your laptop;

Close all the files accessed from the USB Device. Click the green icon on the system tray. Click on "Stop USB Mass Storage Device" A window would appear "The USB Mass Storage Device device can now be safely removed from the system." Click "OK" and then unplug the USB Device.
Note: The green icon does not appear on Windows 98SE Operating System. Just make sure no files are open and then remove the USB Device.

The answer re Win98 is in red MadGamer.

Win98 is a dead/dying OS! :oops:
