Let me clarify this statement. There's a On/Off switch on the drive.
It's when I turn it (usb drive) off, the messages scroll (which I'd
post if I could get them) and systems reboots. Happened twice. The
third time, it says it got disconnected and the system continues to
run fine.

It is a msdos formatted usb drive (2.5" laptop type drive in a
IDE-to-USB2.0 case). Not a zip drive, but thank you for sharing that
piece of info.
