is there a special magic procedure for removing my usb or other data storage device when working in Bourne Again Shell?
when i insert my usb disk in the comp., Linux makes a signal and i can open my disk and copy things on it, etc. But, after i copy smth., i remove the disk, go to my other Win XP operated comp and THERE IS NOTHING ON THE DISK. it is starting to annoy me, so please, please help me.
(in windows i allways have to "safely remove hardware") - is there a parallel command in linux? what am I doing wrong?

The magical command is umount - thing is, often nothing is actually written to the external medium until it is unmounted. So, of course it will still be empty when connected to the Windows Computer. (This is something you have to learn when first starting to use Linux, especially if you've used Windows before.)
If your usb device is mounted to /media/usb, you'll have to use "umount /media/usb". If it needs su-rights, do it as a superuser! For more information, call man umount in BASH.
By the way, I guess there'll be a symbol for the device on the desktop which you can use to unmount a device by clicking on it with de right mouse button and choose something like "disconnect", "remove" or "unmount".
