I have W7 x64 Ultimate. Here is what happens after I use safe remove with any usb device which has some memory on it.
I get no sound effect until I pull the device out. Which seems normal behaviour if I am correctly interpreting the message in the device manager.
----------
Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been prepared for "safe removal", but it has not been removed from the computer. (Code 47)
