Windows 2000 Svc Pack 4 eject usb/phd problem

[JackG]

Plugged in new 320 G portable hard drive to USB port and successfully backed
up my data. There is no eject Icon and when I go to add/remove hardware and
follow the wizard, it doesn't show the portable hard drive that I want to
eject.

Any suggestions?

Yes, post here instead: microsoft.public.win2000.general

Windows 2000 does not support this option. Never did.

Try opening the hotplug.dll with this command and see if the drive is
abailable for removal. In the Start menu Run box enter:

RUNDLL32 SHELL32.DLL,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll

Windows 2000 does support this option. But some systems did have
problems with this and Microsoft did make a hotfix available for these
systems that have problems listing some devices.

I'd go to the manufacturer's web site and get the latest driver for the USB
cartridge.
