    Windows 8 Help unmounting an ISO

    I keep receiving error message: "An error occurred while ejecting 'CD Drive (J:) Sims3SP06'." I can't attempt to eject unless I expand the drive in File Explorer, otherwise it shows as faded grey and unavailable as an option. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Windows 7 "Safe remove" does nothing

    When I try to safe remove an SD card, I click on it and it does nothing. I never get a message that says it's now safe to remove, and it doesn't unmount. There's no error message involved, it just does nothing. Does anybody know how to fix this?
