can't stop external disk drive

's Computer Specifications

I just did a Norton Ghost backup to an external drive. I want to turn
off the drive but when I try to "Stop" it I get a message that it's in
use.

I rebooted but still the same message.

If I shut off the computer, is it safe to turn of the drive then?

Yes
