I have a USB drive and swap it in and out of the PC with impunity.
At the weekend my brother was downloading some photos for me to my USB drive from his PC and he was following the procedure of using 'Safely remove hardware' under WinXP.
Is there a risk of not doing this, i.e. does my approach potentially damage the USB drive or PC ?
