CORRECT!!!

It appears that the Imation SuperDisk is indeed doing this. When I
disconnect the USB cable the computer shuts down fine. With it installed it
restarts the computer. What a bummer!!!

I tried looking for it in the FAQ section but never found it. Obviously I
never read it as deeply as you did.

Thanks heaps..........
