Unable to remove external drives
Same thing as this thread.
https://community.norton.com/en/forums/nis-problem-unmounting-external-hd
This issue was supposed to be fixed in NS / NSwB beta testing but it has not been fixed at all. It still happens on both of my machines. If I want to disconnect any drives I need to shut down first.
A little bit of knowledge is... well a little bit of knowledge.

Re: Unable to remove external drives
With the latest NS I did a image today AND my USB drive could be removed. Something might have been done about the bug.
Re: Unable to remove external drives
I just tried to remove a USB stick and an external hard drive.
No problem to remove them.
Windows 7 32-bit - NS 22.1
edit: @Dave,
Did you tried to put your external drive to another USB port?

I'm still suffering from a lack of "real time" looking through the Forum.
Re: Unable to remove external drives
I did an image yesterday to my WD 1TB Passport and had no problems with the "Safe removal". I am running Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit with NSBU (with BU disabled) - using another program to backup.
I did have a problem from time to time with the same device in NIS using the same backup program.
