it was already.
someone poste link to small command line tool to unplug USB devices
however it will not work until USB is busy.
but just search for it
Embrace your dreams
a program that, after you have run Safely Remove Hardware on the drive, will remount the drive as if you had pulled it out and plugged it back in again. When I asked this question the reply I got was that there was no programatic way to do this. I'd be happy to be proved wrong.
if there was a program that you can use so the pc will pick up the drive with out the need to take te drive in an out of the usb port
thanks beau
Just wondering, under what kind of situation you will need to do that? @@
Testing autostart function,
saving Battery power on a laptop,
ejecting by mistake,
Save HDD-life by turning it off and on,
...
All without plugging it off and on (crawling behind the desk, wearing out the USB connectors mechanically, ...)
I see. Thanks.
