I find that Windows takes 2 attempts to unplug it usually - the first
attempt it fails, the second it works.

I have written a batch file, which calls

deveject "USB Mass Storage Device"

100 times. Usually by the time it has run, i get a succesfully ejected
message. Deveject is (i believe) a VERY useful utility written by someone on
this group... not sure who, as it has no info in the exe...
