eject a portable hard drive

[smmalis]

I am making a .bat file as a macro and part of the macro involves
ejecting a portable USB hard drive. Is there any way to do this in the
command line?

This won't eject it, but it will bring up the dialog: (one line but
will wrap)

%SystemRoot%\System32\RUNDLL32.EXE shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL
hotplug.dll

or just:
RUNDLL32.EXE shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll

If a 3rd party tool is acceptable:

You can put it even on the drive to remove.
