My Computer > Right-click the USB drive > Click Hardware tab > Make sure your USB drive is selected in the list > Click Properties > Click Policies button > Click "Optimize for quick removal" > You can now remove the drive WITHOUT having to click Safely Remove Hardware.
 
Down load "unlocker assistant". You can type this in google and download it from the site. Now, about that flash drive. You will see an icon on the right bottom of your screen next too the other quick launch icons. Right click this, select safely remove drive, Then when the menu comes up, select stop drive e or f removable. Look at the flash drive. If it is no longer lit, you can remove it. When you right click on a file you wish too save, select send to, then select drive e or f . Then save. This might work very well for you rather than going through the Windows 7 way of saving files. You can also eliminate this hassle by switching to XP mode. Since usb flash drives are cheap, you can pick up a 7 doller one and try that one in the comp. If it works, you will know your other flash drive is defective, then you can pick up a new one with more space at more expense . Good luck!
