Solve : unable to remove the USB HDD?

Answer»

I have been searching for a solution to solve the "Safe Remove" problem in Windows XP.
It always HAPPENS whenever I TRY to safely remove any of my USB HDD regardless of brand-name using the safely remove hardware icon in the Taskbar.
I get an error message: 'The device 'Generic volume' cannot be stopped because a program is still accessing it.'
There are no programs accessing the drive as I only USE it for storage.

I have always to restart my PC before I can safely remove the USB HDD.
I am sure most of you should ecounter this problem at least once in the past!
So, anyone know how to eliminate this problem?It may be your virus scanner or something else that is continually monitoring your hard drive.

More details about what is loaded, etc. would be helpful. Quote

Can I remove the HDD If the light is not blinking?I would never remove a USB device without it being properly shut down. Many a USB drive has been ruined in this manner or the data has become difficult or impossible to retrieve.
