  Hi Itay,

  Thanks for posting on Microsoft Community.

  I understand that you get this error "the application \Device\HarddiskVolume4\Windows\System32\svchost.exe prevents this device to be stopped. Close the application and then try to stop the device again. "Whenever you try to eject the external hard drive.

  You may get this message if Windows was started with the inserted disc. Try to wait until Windows is completely loaded before inserting it, then if you try to eject it doesn't work.

  You can try the suggestions below and check if it helps.

  1. Download Process Explorer from the link below http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653
  2. Click search, find handle or DLL (Dynamic Link Library) in the tool menu.
  3. Type the drive letter of the USB device in the handle or DLL substring text box and press the search button.
  4. Find the process and its PID (process identifier) in the following box.
  5. In the tree of the system process, find the process according to find it handle or DLL dialog box.

• cannot eject external hard drive with Aperture library on it

  Hello

  in recent weeks, I can't eject a hard disc with the Aperture library on it. A dialog appears saying that an Application is still in use, but opening is closed and there is nothing else on the external drive (Seagate 2 to).

  Yesterday, I moved my library on a Lacie Rugged drive. Always the same question.

  What could be the reason for this?

  Eddd you change Aperture preferences recently? Perhaps the preview preferences or XML part?

• Cannot eject my external drive after emptying the trash

  I have a very specific question and I was wondering if someone else he met.  This is for Windows XP.  If I delete a file from my external USB drive (happens to all readers regardless of the brand, size, etc.) and empty the trash, I can't remove the disc.  This only happens with this particular scenario
  but so far is happening on 2 PC's, I have at home.

  I checked for file handles and there is no open file handles.  I tried to wait a while but still not good.  My only solution is to shut down the PC and remove the disc.

  It would be great if I can find a solution to this problem very weird.  Thank you all.

• FarStone Virtual Drive 12

  I have this program installed on a computer running under Vista Home Premium and another computer running Windows 7 Edition Home Premium.

  I created 4 virtual drives on each machine and they all run very well.

  The problem I have is on the Vista machine.

  Whenever the computer reboots, the four programs are ejected from their records and I have to screw back them.  Everything goes well until the next reboot.

  The program is responsible for keeping these programs inserted after restart or the computer stops.

  I don't have this problem with Windows 7 computer.

  I contacted FarStone about this, and they told me that their engineers are addressing this problem because they had other reports of this problem with Vista.  No other response since then.

  If someone had this problem and found a solution?

  Thanks for any help you can give me.

  I had exactly the same problem and did the same things you did.  The only thing I could come up with, is that there is a secret place in Vista where you can tell Vista NOT to eject these programs, and no one knows where this place is or not tell anyone.

  I have since upgraded from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium and no longer have the problem.

  That's why I'm convinced, it is a problem of Vista, and the only solution is to updrade to 7.

• DVD player does not appear error - the driver may be corrupted or missing. Code 39, fix the driver installation fails, virtual drives don't work - same results if the material under tension

  Original title: drive does not appear, difficulty he pilot installation fails, virtual drives don't work - same results if the material under tension

  A few weeks ago, as my two DVD players (the two Samsung Lightscribe SH-S223Q of) disappeared after a repair installed, I did for the other problems (not sure if it was directly after installation because I don't notice it right away, but it was no doubt). In Device Manager, it gives the message:

  "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) »

  I tried the Microsoft Fix It tool (Mats_Run.dvd.exe) that detects the problem and says "Install device driver" in a popup, but then he says "software device driver failed to installed. At the end it says under the issue, the "CD/DVD drive is not detected" and the status of Fix 'not set '. Note that, when I boot from another hard drive (with Vista 64 on it installed from the same DVD, just a new installation) disks appear very well. Also I can boot from the drive as well.

  I can't do a repair installation, since it must initiate Windows, and I can't load the disc. I tried to update my BIOS but that has no effect.

  Recently I actually moved this hard drive to another one, with another brand of hard drive and all the rest. Just like before, if I boot from another hard drive (this one with Windows 7), the drive unit-a Optiarc AD-7230 s - looks and works, and I can also boot from the drive at startup. But since the drive hard as I want to use, the drive does not appear. Fix it, etc. Device Manager gives the same messages as before.

  I tried virtual drives - Daemon Tools Lite and Virtual Clonedrive. When I try to add virtual devices to help, nothing happens. The new drive will be displayed in the Manager of devices, but with the same error Code 39 as the real drive.

  What are my options at this point? How can I get the drive to appear or to fix my copy of Windows?

  I could solve this problem. I started in Ubuntu and deleted the existing cdrom.sys, cdrom.inf etc. files (as in Windows, they were protected and I couldn't delete them), then I copied the files from another installation of Vista I had on another hard drive. After having done that, I updated the drivers in device, disabled/enabled readers and readers management that presented themselves.

• Cannot delete a virtual hard disk

  Hello!

  I use Fusion - 5.0.2 and you cannot delete a virtual disk. As you can see from the screenshots, the VM (called backup) IS off and there is NO snapshots...

  

  ... and the virtual machine has no "restrictions".

  

  The button "Remove Hard Drive" is still just gray.

  Anyone know why I can't remove VHDs from Fusion?

  Best regards

  Hello!

• Why can't I eject my flash drives safely when you run Firefox?

  When I market/internet browsing on Firefox. I can't eject my flash drives safely. each time, I get this:

  "Problem ejecting USB Mass Storage device - this legacy is currently in use. Close any programs or windows that might be using the device, and then try again. »

  Flash drives are not used most of the time, except when I record something for them. Nothing is using them and all the stops and other things are accomplished, but I can't safely eject when Firefox is running. I have to close Firefox to eject safely. I can't in safe mode, however. Is a weird glitch, or something else happens with Firefox?

  I found the culprit using Process Explorer. It is RecordingManager.exe which is part of the extension RealDownloader 1.3.0 from RealNetworks Inc.. I could see it was making reference to my letter of the USB drive, don't have however no idea why it was.

  Kill the RecordingManager.exe process while leaving the FF running meant I could now eject the USB key.

  Deactivation of the FF extension has prevented the problem from happening again.

  Hello!

  Have you tried to install the driver to display on the Toshiba site? You can find it here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  Before you try to install a new display driver, you must remove any old version in Add/Remove programs. Then, restart the laptop and use CCleaner to clean the system. Restart again and then install the new version.

  You have the same problem with the factory settings? In the worst case, you must reinstall Windows using Toshiba recovery disc.

  Good bye

• Problem with the virtual drive.

  On my g6 Pavilion, I get the full message e: HP_TOOLS road.   It is a virtual drive on my pc, how do I deploy using DISKPART to BACK?

  Thank you

  Tom

  Did you make the registry change that I sent you a private message?

  So, I agree with your statement. These are certainly back up files. The question is; What is backup files?

  Microsoft System Restore only deals with backup of critical system files and registration and records in a hidden folder that is not easily editable. In addition, you verified that this is not enabled for this player. So who is excluded.

  Another possibility is that other Windows, such as Windows Backup service, creates these files. Backup Windows treats the user's choice of the files instead of just the files of backup system.

  Try the following steps.

  1. Click Start, type "backup and restore" and press ENTER.
  2. This will bring up the Windows backup window. It seems to be set up, or it asks you to configure for the first time?
  3. If it is flagged by the look on the left side and you should see an option "disable automatic schedule;" turn this option off. The backup will be not automatically, but you can always do it manually on this screen.
  4. Delete the file Moberdan_HP from the HP_Tools partition.
  5. Improperly editing the registry if you used it.
  6. Reboot the laptop and make sure that the problem is resolved.
