Unable to eject WD portable hard-drive
Hello,
I got a new Seagate 500GB HD (sorry about the wrong thread title). For the first two weeks or so, I could eject my HD through "Safely Remove".....but since then I get the usual "Generic volume is still in use" message, inspite of closing all processes that might possibly be using it.
I keep the HD connected to my PC virtually all the time, even when I shut down and reboot. But every now and then, I need to disconnect it. And to do that, I have to shut down the computer first and then disconnect it.
Whenever I update Windows, I see that a temporary folder is created in the HD while the updates are being downloaded which has led me to think that a process uses the HD but I can't find out which one it is and how to terminate it properly.
There are no problems when I use the HD in other computers.
