In XP, when safely removing flash drive or any other usb device, the light on the flash drive goes off and I can remove it. But in vista even though i choose safely remove hardware the light still stays on. Is there and update for this bug? Or does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks

What's the harm if the light still stays on even after choosing Safely remove hardware?

The harm, from what I understand, is that the file may get corrupted or that the device may be compromised.
