My questions are what is the correct way to shut this USB disk down so

if I do not disconnect the thumb drive before shutting down, it does
not boot up correctly.

Any help or pointers will be appreciated. I need a back up before I try
installing Virtualbox.

With my two USB hard drives, I do exactly the same as with the thumb
drives. I plug them in, they show up in Konqueror, then I right-click to
remove when done.

Maybe the partitioning did something?

Thanks I was wondering about that. I think I'll reinstall it, clear it
off and change the mount points to /media/disk like the thumb drives. the
mount points

When you redo it, give it a LABEL; then, it will always mount in
/media/LABEL.

Thanks I'll do that.
