I've been having an odd problem lately. When I drag files from the computer to a flash drive, they appear to copy, but when I try to use the files I find that only the name was copied (file size of 0). When I copy the same files to the same flash drive, from the terminal, everything seems to work. Has anyone else experienced a problem like this? It's starting to get a little frustrating. -- RonB -- Using CentOS 5.3

Are you unmounting it before unplugging it? This could cause the issue you are reporting. HTH, Filipe
