Did set up the "ReadyBoost" by any chance, if so you can't remove the USB key until you disable it.

The drive letter my thumb drive is on doesn't show up in the list here either. -- Mike Gill From: Ken Schaefer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2008 7:35 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Can't Safely Unplug USB drive Try handle.exe Cheers Ken From: Mike Gill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 13 June 2008 12:09 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Can't Safely Unplug USB drive Is there an app that will show me programs or processes that are accessing a drive letter? This is one of my biggest frustrations with Vista. Before it was almost impossible for me to be able to eject a USB hard drive, now it is impossible any time. But now, I can't even "safely remove" my thumb drive. I've exited out of all programs, down to the AV and sidebar and even stopped the index service. Nothing suspicious is seen in the task manager. I'm just at a loss. I've tried process monitor and can't get it to show me anything. -- Mike Gill This email and any attached files are confidential and intended solely for the intended recipient(s).
