I've heard about such a problem on Windows2000. I think it is somehow related to a bad/defective USB driver. Try re-installing new USB Drivers on your Opertaing System. good luck
You should always be sure that you properly unmount the drive. Here's how:
1. Open the My Computer icon on the desktop.
Or, somehow display the contents of the My Computer window.
2. Locate the category heading Devices with Removable Storage.
Choose View --> Arrange Icons by --> Show in Groups if you can't find the Devices with Removable Storage area.
3. Click to select the removable disk.
In many cases, the disk has a generic icon associated with it, though some USB gizmos may sport a unique icon.
4. Choose File --> Eject from the menu.
5. Unplug or detach the USB disk drive.
Note that the icon may not disappear from the My Computer window until the device is detached.
- Try it in a different USB port.
- Update your Windows 2k to the latest hotfixes.
- Try reapplying SP4.
- Update all drivers especially your chipset drivers.
- Apply any special specific patches Dell might have for your machine.
- Flash the BIOS to the latest.
