No 'safe to remove' in win 8 using usb ext hdd.

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Hi, I have windows 8 on my laptop, i had windows 7 previously.

My problem is when i connect my media player to my laptop, the hdd usually starts in slave mode and shows up as a drive.

in widnows 7 i could always click safe to remove before i unplugged it, in windows 8 i do not have this option, even though i have it set to performance which should mean i would have to remove it safely before i unplug it.

i have read others also having this issue and i cannot find any way to fix it.

if i pluf a ust stick into my drive i do see an option to safely remove. the only difference i can see is the usb stick is fat32 and my etc drive is ntfs.

can anyone help, is this an issue that can be fixed?

sounded like you need some sort of driver for your media player device in order for Win 8 to recognize it correctly

cheers ...
