Welcome to the Vista Forums  I've been doing some research on your WD drive. There are apparently some drivers that may help your situation. Here's the link: Software Library I hope this helps. |

| | Re: Western Digital MyBook 500 GB Why do you feel you need to eject it? It should be hotswappable (just disconnect the firewire or usb connector).
