What is disco memory?

[bentaxle]

its one of those flash drives i think they are called,one that you put your photos on and hot foot up to jessops with

if you are getting problems like this make sure that you close any folders you have open on the stick before taking it out. You may have a lot of background processes slowing your machine down as well.

I dint know there was any folders involved I just clicked send to disco then remove it when led stopped blinking

Although USB drives are theoretically hot-swappable, it s generally best to "eject" them from within My Computer or to use the "Safely Remove Hardware" tool that sits in the System Tray next to your clock just in case any data is being cached when you pull the drive out.
