Maybe this is it
If when your drive is connected you go to My computer and right click on it and choose properties, you can then choose the Hardware tab. Then hgihlight the device and chose the Properties button.
This gives you yet more tabs! Under the policies tab is write caching and safe removal and you can disable write caching so that you can simply remove the drive without having to use the safe removal icon.
This is just a guess.
Ever since I got this vista 64 computer, it does not turn off the light on the 505 even when safely removing, yet I have experienced no data corruption.
Your mileage may vary.
