Cant safely remove USB drives?

Filed under: Computing

Once in a while, or probably always, that we have trouble in safely removing any usb drive.. and its really a headache if u cant safely remove a USB hdd after spending hours copying all the videos from a desktop or laptop.. u must have been wondering what ’stuff’ is currently accessing ur USB hdd/drives… well, i have a solution.. its Process Explorer !! from microsoft.. u can get it here..

  How i use it, u might ask..

First thing to do is to active the lower panel view, click on View tab, and select Show Lower Pane

 

Next, u gotta find which process, they call it Handle or DLL, click on Find tab, click Find Handle and DLL, and type in ur USB drive letter, F:\ , G:\ , etc.. click search..U’ll notice the search result is the current Handle or DLL that is currently accessing ur USB drive now.. double click it..

 

After double clicking it, the Lower Pane will automatically jump to the current Handle or DLL that is currently messing u up.. thus, right click on it, and click Close Handle.. and voila..u  can safely remove ur USB drive.
