I will need more details, because this doesn't make sense to me.
- Windows should load the entire executable into memory or at least into the pagefile, so no matter if you remove the hard drive or not, it should continue working.
- Where do you save the IT file to? To the same unplugged hard drive? If so, OpenMPT should simply say that it cannot save the file. Since the drive is unplugged, the file cannot be corrupted, of course.

Also, if OpenMPT created a crash dump in %TEMP%\OpenMPT Crash Files, please compress the .dmp file and upload it here. |

If you run OpenMPT from a disk that is getting unplugged, there is nothing at all that OpenMPT can do. Not even write a proper crash dump or save the currently open file, because the code to do that might not actually be loaded yet.
Do not unplug the disk while using it. |

I would have expected that Windows keeps the executable image in memory or swap file at all times, but if this is not the case, there is indeed nothing we can do about it. You will have to ensure that OpenMPT is run from a permanently connected drive and enable the creation of backups (*.bak) in the Autosave options to prevent your files from being damaged (this is always a good idea, not just in your situation).
If you absolutely need OpenMPT to be stored on an external drive, you can try a simple batch script like this to automatically copy the executable to a safe location (assuming it is a portable install):
mkdir "%TEMP%\OpenMPT"
copy mptrack.exe "%TEMP%\OpenMPT\"
copy PluginBridge32.exe "%TEMP%\OpenMPT\"
copy PluginBridge64.exe "%TEMP%\OpenMPT\"
copy unmo3.dll "%TEMP%\OpenMPT\"
copy OpenMPT_SoundTouch_f32.dll "%TEMP%\OpenMPT\"
copy mptrack.ini "%TEMP%\OpenMPT\"
copy Keybindings.mkb "%TEMP%\OpenMPT\"
copy SongSettings.ini "%TEMP%\OpenMPT\"
copy plugin.cache "%TEMP%\OpenMPT\"
"%TEMP%\OpenMPT\mptrack.exe"

Closing as there is nothing we can do about this issues. |
