    I just keep my cool and detach the disk when this happens, and I've never had any problems because of it.
    Some devices are supposed to have the ability to disconnect/power off without ejecting, but I think it is most safe to reboot given that situation. Comes down to preference.

    What happened is that some process had a handle on your disk. Usually the easiest is to wait until you shutdown the system and remove the device then. At shutdown, all handles are released.

    Here we go again. This time I have a clean install of Win7 Home Edition. I just plug the disk via firewire, copy a file, then want to eject it but it says a process is still accessing it How annoying.

    I also realized that in the disk list in Explorer, my WD disk is missing icons (see screenshot) .. do I need some special drivers for it ?
