Windows does in fact NOT do this automatically. They display a warning
about not removing the software until you have unloaded it, then you
may "unplug it safely".<br>
<br>
They have quite a dialogue system happening about this.<br>
<br>
It is easier in Linux: you just click the icon to mount, then click again to unmount.<br>
