Make sure your removable drive have "write caching" turned off (as
defeault).

Then,m next time Windows complained "can't be stopped now,"
just ignore that, because you have make sure that the "write caching"
has been diabled.
Ah, that's probably it since I never touched that. If we set it, will Windows XP Pro. (assuming the same PC) remember it? Or will it forget like it does with System Restore (mine always re-enable when rehooked up and powered on)?
