Question Problem ejecting mass storage device

Hi
I have a laptop and everytime I use my two different externa Hard Drive I cannot use the safely remove, It always says (The device 'Generic Volume' cannot be stopped right now. Try stopping the device again later) this is a 'problem ejecting mass storage device" thats what shows. I had wait like 30 min and it still saying the same, This problem is only with external HD. Thanks for your time

So there are not solution for that?
Unplug it without the safely remove will damage the HD eventually?

It will never damage the drive - only any data that's in transit.

Your antivirus program is probably accessing the drive.
