I have a codirect USB 128MB flashdrive. Windows 2000 recognizes the drive when I connect it as I can read and write to the drive with no problems. The drive is also listed in windows explorer as the "E" drive. My problem is I cannot safely remove this drive. When I click on the remove/stop hardware icon in the task bar, I only see the floppy A drive on the list. The flashdrive or "E" drive is not listed.

I am using windows 2000 professional w/service pack 4.
