I wanted to eject/stop my external USB HDD(s). Being lazy I found this on the web. It's versatile, and it works, and it's free.
USB Disk Ejector from
http://quickandeasysoftware.net/softwareAmong other things it can:
- Eject the drive that the program is running from.
- Eject a drive by specifying a drive letter.
- Eject a drive by specifying a drive name.
- Eject a drive by specifying a mountpoint
- Eject a drive by specifying a partial drive name.
In case anyone else needs a fast solution.
