Hello Group:
There are times when I can't do operations on a non-boot hard drive
because of open handles. If I run chkdsk on command line by changing
to that drive then using chkdsk command, then chkdsk offers to
dismount the drive and will do so. Problem is I have to wait until
chkdsk completes to get my drive dismounted or locked.
(I know you can use /x switch with chkdsk, but that doesn't save much
time.)
Is there any command I can use from the command line to dismount pr
lock a non-boot hard drive without having to run chkdsk and wait for
it to complete? I figured if chkdsk can do it, maybe I can too.
I can't find anything on the MS support site or in the Reskit which
seems to apply ...(looked up "lock", "dismount", "volume").
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Jack
