Safety Remove a HDD (SATA)
In the icon tray, there is an icon for safety removing hardware and eject media. I'm using two HDDs. One where Windows 7 is installed and another where are some data are placed. By clicking on the icon, a context menu appears where my two HDDs are listed. If I click on the HDD where just my data are placed, I get an error message:
There aren't any applications opened which are currently in use or accessing the drive. Also after restarting my computer and try it again, the error message appears.This device is currently in use. Close any programs or windows that might be using the device, and then try again.
The reason why I want to eject the device is that working with the HHD, the performance decreased. There must be a performance issue with Windows and the device. Why this doesn't work and is there a possibility to plug out the HDD without manually removing the cable?
