Guest laurenkcyza Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 Hi, I'm out of ideas and hope someone on the forum can help. When I try to eject my USB flash drive using the "Unplug or Eject Hardware" wizard the system gives a message: The device'Generic volume'cannot be stopped right now. Try stopping the device again later.This is a usually behavior and I have exited programs using USB disk. How do I eject a USB device? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Guest dc Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 Re: Can't eject USB disk Does the Event Viewer tell you anything? Try looking at all of the processes and note them. Log off and back on. Left click the system tray icon and see if it says it's okay. I had the trouble a long time ago, but don't recall exactly which of my processes were in use and wouldn't release the external jump drive. If that doesn't work try going to Computer Management/Disk management and deleting the partition and reformatting the jump drive to NTFS. If delete the partition is shaded out and "Make Partition Active" This may help http://www.adrc.net/data_recovery_resources/data_storage_media/how_to_partition_format_harddisk.htm good luck, dc "laurenkcyza" <laurenkcyza@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:1185030617.100964.249730@x40g2000prg.googlegroups.com... > Hi, > I'm out of ideas and hope someone on the forum can help.

I get that message whenever Windows Explorer is open. When I close it and try again, things work as they should.

Any help would be appreciated. > Thank you! > Do you have it open in Explorer? What often happens is that you insert the USB key, navigate to it in Explorer, then do whatever you want on it. When you finish, you try to stop the device, but it won't because it is open in Explorer. If this is your problem, try clicking in the 'Folders' pane onto another drive, eg C: and try to stop the device again.
