Problem Ejecting USB Mass Storage Device
Body Text
Windows can't stop your 'item ' device because it is in use. Close any programs or windows that might be using the device, and then try again later.
To safely remove the media, close all open files on the drive:
Save any open files from the application using the files on the removable media device.
If you are still getting the warning, close all open applications.
If you had a system crash since powering on, Windows may think a file is in use, when it no longer is. A reboot should clear the issue, and it is usually safe to remove the media, even without a reboot.
