"Safely remove hardware.." is there for a good reason, and it has nothing to do with the version of XP you're running.
A couple of years ago, back in my XP days, I did some volunteer database development for a regional hospital. The copy dialog closed after the copy completed. I copied all the db files to my thumb drive, and later on, pulled the stick and drove the 35 miles to the hospital. Couldn't load the database. Learned my lesson. Cached writes will bite you some day if you don't eject.
