Most
new computers now have rectangular USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports on the front
as well as on the back of the computer. It's much easier to use the ports on the
front for connecting cameras, scanners, and USB drives.

Any USB device can be connected or disconnected at any time without having to shut down or reboot the computer.
For USB drives, be sure the activity light is off. You may need to Stop the
device using the menu from 
the Safely Remove Hardware icon (in WinXP's notification tray).
