Thanks for the link! That code has got me on the right track. I've almost got it working with one small kink.
After the code runs my drive still shows up on Windows Explorer but as a removable drive. If I try to double click on it, it tells me to insert a disk (see screenshot). So it seems my code is unmounting my volume, but not the actual device. Any ideas? I've attached the code I've got so far. -Kyle Rickey -----Original Message----- From: python-list-bounces+kyle.rickey=bakerhughes....@python.org [mailto:python-list-bounces+kyle.rickey=bakerhughes....@python.org] On Behalf Of MRAB Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 2:10 PM To: python-list@python.org Subject: Re: Eject a Removable USB drive Rickey, Kyle W wrote: > Hello everyone, > > > > I would like to be able to eject a usb drive based on drive letter.
