I have an external Medea 320GB hard drive connected to a Shuttle XPC. For some reason, I can never remove the drive from the computer. When I try to do this, I get the following response: "The device "Generic Volume" cannot be stopped right now. Try stopping the device again later" I try again later and I get the same response. When I went on vacation last week I shut down my entire system. I was hoping this would fix the problem, you know... reset everything. However, this problem still happens. Advice?? I don't want to damage the drive, the CPU, or its content.   argon_smythe Citizen Username: Argon_smythe Post Number: 492 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Friday, January 7, 2005 - 10:24 am:        Shut down the computer completely and then disconnect the drive while it's turned off?   sbenois Citizen Username: Sbenois Post Number: 12948 Registered: 10-2001 Posted on Sunday, January 9, 2005 - 9:20 pm:        Is this device is hooked up as a USB? Try stopping the device first using the USB icon that appears at the bottom in the tray. Do you like the Shuttle? I built mine (using it right now) a couple of years ago and it sure is sweet. Tiny outside but a monster inside.   composerjohn Citizen Username: Composerjohn Post Number: 96 Registered: 8-2004 Posted on Monday, January 10, 2005 - 9:27 am:        I followed argon's advice and it worked. Thanks! Yeah.. the shuttle is great. I use it mostly for a digital sampler program called Gigastudio.
