Copied from a previous posting...

That means that there is one or more open handles to the
drive to remove.

Try to discover who has an open handle to your USB drive:

Get Sysinternals ProcessExplorer
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html
and my ListUsbDrives
http://www.uwe-sieber.de/files/listusbdrives.zip

Start ListUsbDrives, it shows somthing like this for each
USB drive:

MountPoint = U:\
Volume Name = VOYAGER1GB
Size = 991 MB
MultiReader = no
Drive Type = removable drive
DOS Device = \Device\Harddisk4\DP(1)0-0+f
Device Name = Corsair Flash Voyager
Serial = ---
USB Port = 3-2

We need the 'DOS Device' name for your drive. Then start the
ProcessExplorer. Ignore the initial message 'No symbols defined'.
Go to 'Find'->'Find Handle' and enter a unique part of your drive's
DOS Device name, e.g. 'disk4'. Click 'Search'.

Then it lists all processes that hold open handles to your drive.

When I stop my Data Traveller there are three items listed
in the window. Don't select the Kingston, it won't stop.
Select the "USB mass storage device", then it will stop.
