the File Manager or go to the Command Prompt and switch to another driver, e.g. In the meantime you can close programs, which are currently accessing the drive, e.g. You can specifiy UNMOUNT -l : This will retry locking the drive continously, until you press CTRL-C or CTRL-BREAK. FORMAT) has locked the drive exclusively, locking fails and the program will exit. If there are still open files on the disk or another process (e.g. If this is successful, UNMOUNT will dismount the drive and then eject the media. UNMOUNT tries to lock the drive for exclusive use. This works on all removable media (even on CD-ROMs). You simply type UNMOUNT : to eject the media. UNMOUNT is a utility, which helps is this case. One common method of removing disks with NTFS filesystem is to run CHKDSK /F on the drive and afterwards removal is allowed by pressing the eject button, but this is quite time consuming.

HPFS is even more sensitive to media removal, so Windows NT does not allow formatting removable disks with HPFS, neither does OS/2.īecause UNMOUNT.EXE uses MNT.EXE as a DLL, it is required to have MNT.EXE in the same directory as UNMOUNT.EXE. In case of FAT, Windows NT allows the removal of the media, but it is not recommended to do so, if there are still open files. When you have NTFS on a removable disk, you are not allowed to simply remove the media, when there are still open files. I have written these Utilities to allow safe removal of removable media, such as magneto-optical disk, bernoulli disks, a Syquest disk or similar devices.
