Just a quick question, I have some large external storage USB HDDs and quite often when I'm done backuping my files to them it'll refuse to be safely removed because "A program is using it", I can leave it on for hours and it will still refuse.
What can I do when this happens, and does telling the computer to restart or shutdown 'safely' turn off the external HDD? I'm just worried about hurting my backup drives when I can't safely remove them.
On a side note, recent HDD fail events have made me paranoid, can you use Chkdsk on USB HDDs?
