Best Answer

If the computer is writing to the USB drive at the moment when you disconnect the device, then you could have, for example, a file on the drive with a beginning and no end. Also, if the computer is dependent on things that are stored on the USB drive, then it needs to know before these files disappear. Before you remove a USB drive, the operating system needs to check with all of the running applications to make sure that it is OK. -DJ Craig
