When you try to safely remove hardware>safely remove usb disc like pen drive,memory card reader, datacable have you ever face the problem like this-
Solution
1.Download Unlocker and install it on your computer. The link to download the unlocker is http://www.brothersoft.com/download-unlocker-208761.html
2. Right click on your USB drive in my computer and select Unlocker.
3. A dialog box appears that will list all the busy handles of files being used on your USB drive. Now click the button which says Unlock All
Now try to remove your USB drive through “Safely Remove Hardware” dialog.
If still you are not able to remove USB drive then try clicking the Kill Process button in Unlocker.

Unlocker, which is a great little utility, won't free up the device for me; I don't get the option to "unlock all" (though for some applications I do. I only have the following options:no action; delete; move; & rename. I'm trying to disconnect an external hard drive with backup data & am afraid that opting to "delete" will delete the data as well as the drive. As for now, all I can do to safely disconnect is to do so after shutdown or during reboot.
ReplyDeleteI have just tried the latest version of Unlocker. "Unlock all" or "kill process" didn't work for me at all. Restarting the pc solved the problem completely every time.
