"Can't stop generic volume device because a program is still using it"
I've got an external hard drive...actually this has happened on my other external hard drive too, and i've never been able to solve this problem
most of the time i can eject without a problem and make sure nothing is going to and from the external, but after copying files for a long time in one session, i get the "can't stop generic volume device because a program is still using it" message
i did research and found ways to uninstall the driver as a permanent fix to turning off the computer to unplug to using Process Explorer..granted it was the final straw last night but yeah..
Is there a permanent fix or a good, clean way to solve this problem? And an explanation to why it does this? Thanks.
