abhishel777 · Mar 23, 2015

The thing is whenever I insert my WD ELEMENTS 2TB ext HDD into my laptop ,the safely remove hardware function doesn't work.
I even tried running RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll but it had no effect so please help me with it.This problem was with my bro's 1TB ext HDD,it started happening with my HDD when I copied some stuffs from his HDD onto mine.

I am linking an image,it will speak for itself.

Hi there abhishel777,

Most probably something is accessing the drive.
You can try disabling the indexing option if enabled. Just type in "index" in the Start button search box.
If the issue persists, disable your anti-virus/spyware program function for a while and see whether this will fix it.
It will not hurt to test the drive with WD's Data Lifeguard Diagnostic tool: http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=810&lang=en

Hope this will help,
