    No 'Safe Remove' for External HDD in Win 7??


    Hi guys,

    I got 2 OS. One is XP and the other Win 7.

    2 days back I got an external casing for my 80 GB IDE HDD (Desktop Comp not laptop) as it was just lying around.
    There are 2 partitions split equally and it works fine in XP. It has the safe remove feature working perfectly.

    But there is no safe remove for the same thing when i connect it to Win 7. I have 2 or 3 pen drives and the safe remove feature is active when i plug them in. The OS detects the 2 partitions and I can transfer files and do everything but there is no eject feature even if I right click. In other words, win 7 considers it as a internal HDD. What do I do ?

    (I tried USB safely remove and other such software but it says that it cannot be disconnected,,try closing any other program and all that mambo jumbo)

    All suggestions appreciated.
