This article was previously published under Q265876 If this article does not describe your hardware-related issue, please see the following Microsoft Web site to view more articles about hardware: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/w98?sid=460 (http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=http%3a%2f%2fsupport.microsoft.com%2fdefault.aspx%2fw98%3fsid%3d460) SYMPTOMS
When you right-click a Universal Serial Bus (USB) external floppy disk drive or a USB external LS-120 drive in the My Computer window or in Windows Explorer and then click Eject, the disk in the drive may not be ejected.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the USB external floppy disk drive or LS-120 drive that is attached to the computer does not support this feature ("soft eject").
RESOLUTION
To eject the disk, press the Eject button on the drive.
MORE INFORMATION
