absolutely safe.

Or if u r that afraid & u r a fresher to computing... just restart the comp... take out the drive then ;)
__________

that's because ur drive is a 2gb one.. maybe with lotsa stuff's in it.. and ur OS is tryin to read/identify/index ur contents... silently.

Just b sure, u r still not transferring data when u r unpluggin/removing ur drive out.

Of course, u can always pull the usb out whenever u r not transferring data... & there r simpler methods to solve ur prob (like restart explorer only)... but this is a tension-proof one to a newcomer like u...

No need to restart the computer. Bring up the task manager. When the message pops up showing that "the pendrive(or Camera) cannot be removed right now", just goto processes and shutdown Explorer.exe. Now goto applications-> New Task..
Type explorer and press enter. Your device might have been removed by now.
If not, you can safely remove the hardware without that message creeping up again...;)
