    "Problem Ejecting USB Mass Storage Device"

    Pretty regularly I get this pop up, when trying to disconnect an external HDD from my desktop computer (win 7 ulti)

    The taskmgr shows correctly that no application is still running on the computer, yet, when clicking on the icon in the taskbar I get that pop up telling me:

    “Windows can’t stop your “generic volume” device because a program is still using it”


    (Mod: I am not certain where to put this, in Win7 or in Hardware, so I put it in both, please delete the wrong one.... Sorry, about this)
