USB Disk Ejector: It's free and does what it says
USB Disk Ejector is a small, free program that allows for instant, quick 1-click ejection of a USB drive or USB device such as an Ipod or MP3 player. It also works when run from the device itself that you want to eject.
This is a no-install program that you can run from anywhere, including your removable USB media itself, that will present you with a list of all USB devices connected to your computer.
So what's the advantage of this software over the normal right-click "safely remove this device?" For one, you won't get that annoying and supremely unhelpful dialog bubble, "you can now safely remove this device." Also, the command line utility gives you access to ejecting options without having to leave the keyboard.
Try ejecting with USB Disk Ejector if/when you encounter the dreaded "volume cannot be stopped right now … try later" message (see below),
By this software disk ejecting problems can be solved.
