Hi,
I have tried selecting the eject triangle in Finder, selecting the drives icon and pressing ⌘-E and ejecting from Disk Utility but I keep getting "The disk is in use and could not be ejected" "Try quitting applications and try again".
I only use it as a kind scratch-back-up drive where I copy things I want to preserve so it shouldn't be getting used by any programs at all.
However I've tried quitting everything I can but still it won't eject;( Is there some way of asking the system what is accessing the drive? It goes to sleep but wakes up occasionally for some reason.
