For me, it happens each time I try to do something with XP and my jukebox...

no problem about this....I tried to wait 10 minutes after deconnecting my
device, but the result is the same : reboot. And corrupted filesystem (for
my computer and sometimes for my jukebox).

same answer as above : no problem about this...I think I tried all what I
could do :)

I totally agree (but it never works for me)...I had some hope : it worked
just some minutes one time, but just one time...

That's what I did...but no results. I thought it was a problem with my
motherboard, but after some tests with another USB devices, I found my MB
works well.

Now that it works under linux, and it works very well, I don't want to try
anything with windows XP...I lost too much time.
