Re: Dell Latitude E series & docking station eject?

I don't often undock without shutting down even when I had an XP machine. If I need to go to a meeting or leave for the day I just use it as an opportunity to reboot.

I'll keep the issue in mind though.

I've done it without any obvious issues.
I think you're operating on borrowed time there ... if you've got a devices that's writing data, and you kill connection, only one thing can happen. Data corruption. This isn't a windows issue, it's a computer issue. Same as if you unplugged the connection to your (unmirrored) IBM i dasd while it was writing.
