Windows XP and Surprise Removal of Hardware

Overview Preview Draft Version 0.9: This article describes changes made in the Microsoft® Windows® XP operating system to provide improved support for surprise removal of hardware. The following changes were made in Windows XP Beta 2 to improve support for surprise removal of hardware: Windows XP has a refined default caching policy for removable storage devices - write caching is disabled by default for many removable storage devices. This will mitigate the likelihood of data loss in storage surprise-removal scenarios, but will also have a performance impact. Windows will no longer show end-users a popup message upon surprise removal of hardware devices or docking units.
