the most straight forward solutuion is to disconnect your drive despite of the warning message.that i usually do..but another solution is to activate a little feature under Windows.."Optimized for quick removal" this will prevent the buffering of files durin file transfer between your PC and your flashdrive...this will reduce the risk that you encounter this type of error messages.
