  • Problem ejecting USB Mass Storage Device [Unlocker doesn't work]

    Hey everybody,

    Just like everyone else, I get a pop-up message when trying to eject my external hard drive WD: "problem ejecting USB Mass Storage Device. Windows can't stop... "and so on." This does not work when I've only sailed on the disk, but it does, for example, when I made a mistake - check or make a backup. I already checked the forums, but unlike everyone else, third-party programs do not work for me.
    I did the following:

    -closed open task

    -disabled virus scanner

    -used Unlocker and Process Explorer, but he can't find any process that locks my drive. What happens here?

    -rebooted in safe mode

    -disabled indexing

    It makes me crazy that I have to restart whenever I want my drive to eject.

    Oh, and I use Windows 7.

    Can someone help me solve this problem?

    Hello

    (1) is limited to any specific USB device?

    (2) did you try to connect the device to a different USB port and check if you are facing a similar question?

    This problem may occur if there are handles open with all the files in the USB (Universal Serial Bus) mass storage device are in use by another program. Follow these methods and check if that helps.

    Method 1:

    I suggest you run the hardware and devices Troubleshooter to check if it helps.

    Open the hardware and devices Troubleshooter

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-hardware-and-devices-Troubleshooter

    Method 2:

    I suggest you to check and clean the boot if any third-party program is causing the problem.

     

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista and Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

     

    Warning: After you used the clean boot in order to solve your problem follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual.

     

    Connecting and disconnecting USB devices:

     

    Most USB devices can be removed and disconnected at will. When you unplug the devices of storage, such as USB flash drives, you should be sure that the computer has finished saving all the information on the device before removing it. If the device has an activity light, wait a few seconds after the light has finished flashing before unplugging.

    If you see the icon remove the device safely in to the far right of the taskbar notification area, you can use this to ensure that devices have finished all operations in progress and are ready to remove. Click the icon and you will see a list of devices. Click the device you want to remove.

    You can use any USB port when you plug in a device you have installed beforehand. However, the first time you connect a device to a particular port, Windows will install the driver for this device again.

    My problem is:

    I do not have the new device connected to my computer, but there is a warning on the 'USB Mass Storage Device' Device Manager as USB controller. In fact no problem when I attached all my computer USB storage, it can still read file in there. This problem makes my computer need a lot of time to boot. Even if I disable your device (which has a warning about it) my computer need even more time to start. I tried all efforts:

    1. I tried to update the driver of the device, we want to, but it did not work.

    2. I uninstalled all USB controller devices, but it did not work.

    3. I tried 'MicrosoftFixit' tool, but it didn't work.

    Is it possible to fix this error? What happened to my computer? I need help.

  • Impossible to safely remove external USB HDD - ejection of mass storage device problem

    Hello

    I have a 250 toshiba external hard drive. "When I go safely remove device and click on stop, guests me that ' ejection of mass storage device problem and try later.

    Is there a reason for this? As I have heard it is dangerous to pull the cord without stopping it first.

    This happens usually when something is always access to the USB - HDD.
    Yes, it s dangerous to pull on the cable, because you can lose some data and the file system may be damaged. But if you have a situation where you need the drive to take with you and want to just get out the cable to the USB port there is a little trick to disconnect the security apparatus:

    Do right click on 'My Computer'-> click on Hardware-> click "devicemanager"-> go into "diskdrives"-> then you need to click on the drive that is your USB - HDD-> with the right button and then click on 'Properties'-> in the menu properties of this drive, you must go on "policies" and click on "optimize for quick removal"-> and then click OK and exit this menu and all-> perform a reboot-> closing information fact. :)

    After that, it s safe for remove you your drive even if it s not ejected. :)

    Are you sure that the USB is not bad? Also have you tried on some other computer USB3 ports to see if those who can see the drive? Looks like your USB is not USB3 if it can read the disk HARD USB3 but not the USB3 Flash in question. Also make sure that your laptop ports are USB3 ports? In the contrary case, we owe this: to check if the ports are USB3...
