Safely remove the device does not work.

I would like to know if someone has problems with delete material it and eject the media safely? When when I move the mouse over the icon it reads safely remove hardware and eject the media, but when I click the icon, nothing happens. I don't want to corrupt my external hard drive by pulling out the plug. Any ideas?

If you're not pushing the drive for all the possible performance it can give, you can disable the write cache and you won't need to use 'remove hardware safely' after it.  To change it, open Device Manager and expand the section hard drives.  Find the drive click the right button and select "Properties".  Under the "policies" tab, you will see two choices - 'quick release' and 'best performance' - with explanations for each.  As you will see in the explanations, if you select "quick withdrawal" you can simply disconnect the device at any time without going through the routine 'remove hardware safely '.

Thank you

  • Problem of USB ports: remove the material does not work. It works on different computers for the same USB devices

    Original title: problem of USB ports:

    I have a computer dell laptop inspiron d1420 provided with Windows vista and I have upgraded to Windows 7 ultimate, I noticed that when I plug in a USB mass storage, when I try to remove it, I don't get the safe delete the message and lately when I try to remove it, I keep getting the message He's busy and I can't remove it. I tried the same USB on another PC and I have no problem at all. I connected a printer, USB cable and wondows llok have not the driver or didn't install the printer, he left as a device not specified with the name of the printer, but I can't print. I tried with another PC that is also running Windows 7 ultimate and I have no problem, windows has installed the driver, because I used the same printer and the same cable. What is the problem with my USB 4 ports and how to fix?

    Hello

    When you get this message while trying to remove a USB, it's basically a lock for this USB device by some process running on the computer. If we know which process is this locking mechanism, we could also find which Service is associated with this problem in the computer.

    To check this, you can use a program called Process Explorer. You can download this program from the following link. Once downloaded, extract the contents of the zip downloaded to a folder on your desktop. Inside this folder, you will see a file by the name of procexp , which is the executable for Process Explorer. The download link is:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653

    First, plug the USB to one of the USB ports. Then, once you have the executable to Process Explorer, right-click on it and then click run as administrator. Please allow all guests UAC can occur. Once the Process Explorer is running, please follow these steps to search for processes using the USB at the moment:

    1. click on Searchand then click on manage to find them or DLL on the options menu at the top.

    2. then in the pop - up which will turn up next, type the drive letter for the USB drive connected to the computer (for example G: or H:) right now and click on Search.

    3. he should then display all instances of the process that is using this USB at the moment with the corresponding process ID (PID).

    Now, once you have the names of processes using the USB at this time, you can terminate them by clicking on them and then clicking on Manage close. Once this is done, you should be able to eject the USB safely.

    I would like to ask the names of processes lock the drive in your computer. This should give us an idea of what we might have to take the next.

    In addition, for the other issue that you mentioned, in which the computer does not automatically and correctly detects the printer when it is connected to the computer, I suggest you to check whether or not your computer Plug-and-Play service is set to automatic. Here's how you can do this:

    1. press the Windows and the R on your keyboard to get to the top of the run box.

    2. type Services.msc in the run box and press enter on the keyboard. Allow all UAC prompts that may coming up next.

    3. once it opens the window of the Services for you, scroll down to the Plug-and-Play service and double-click it.

    4. in the properties box that will come next, the Startup type should be set to Auto and the Status of the Service must be started. If this isn't the case, please put these values.

    5. click on apply then OK, close all windows in the computer and restart the computer once.

    Once these steps was performed, please check if the problem remains the same. We know the results.

    I hope that these steps raises you in the right direction in order to solve this problem. Don't answer if you still need assistance, we will be happy to be of assistance.

    Jake

    Hey Jake,

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Follow these steps:

    (a) restart your computer if you have not already done so. There is always the possibility that the error Code 31 that you see was caused by a temporary problem with Device Manager. If so, a simple reboot can solve the Code 31.

    (b) have you install a device or a change in the Device Manager, just as the Code 31 error appeared? If so, it is very possible that the modification caused the Code 31 error.

    (c) cancel the change if you can restart the computer and then check again the error Code 31. Depending on the changes, some solutions may include:

    Remove or reconfigure newly installed unit.

    Restore a version prior to updating the driver.

    Use system restore to undo the Device Manager recent related changes.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/system-restore-frequently-asked-questions

    (d) to remove the registry values filters upper and lower. A common cause of errors in Code 31 is the corruption of two registry values in the class of the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive registry key.

    Note: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    Hi, I have Windows Vista and I use a computer laptop Dell studio. When I insert a disc into my CD/DVD drive, the drive spins and it looks like it is about to start and makes the same noise start several times and then just stops. My computer does not record that there is a disc there. If I double click on the DVD drive in 'My computer' it ejects my disc and says "insert the disc in drive E".

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
