Thanks, Arno. How do you disable buffering?

I believe it is called "write-behind caching":

Thanks Franc, nice page & good info. I just disabled caching, but the same error "stop device with control panel" still comes up with removing the flash drive though.

Do you see the same message if you insert and remove your flash drive
without writing anything to it?

Yes

Are you still losing data?

Yes

Does
Scandisk (or whatever W2K uses) find any file system errors?

No.

I use Win98SE. If I remove my flash drive without using the hotplug
utility, then Explorer displays a ghost drive letter. If I then
reinsert the flash drive, a second drive shows up with the same
letter.

I have another PC with 98SE and it works fine. Have had this problem ever since installing 2000Prof on this computer.

Now, if a file will fit on a floppy, I have gone back to using that for now.

Here's what's happening...

Just now I opened a file from hard drive with Word, saved to flash, closed it, closed Word. Opened program, open file on flash -- it's there, no problem with it. Close file, close Word. Remove flash, reinsert flash, open Word, access flash -- no file shows up on flash.
