Key Facts
Full Title
Volume-Disk
Body Text
Disk is currently in use. If you eject this disk now, you may lose data in any open files. Before ejecting the disk, make sure that all files are closed and no multimedia files (such as music or video) are playing.
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.
