“Here it is: the drive has two write caching policies : (a) pull it out quick; (b) ask Windows to let you pull it out. Default is "Ask Windows”"
Wrong. The default is (a), on Windows XP, Vista, 7-32bit & 7-64bit.
“see that little green tick thing in the System Tray?”
Yes, and it’s present when option (a) is used.
But thanks for posting.
