While they always recommend ejecting your Flash drive before taking it out, in all actuality, as long as nothing is currently writing to the drive, it will generally be okay to remove it at any time.

If its giving you some kind of an error message like that, its probably because one of the files on the device is in use on your computer. For example if your storage device has a video file on it and you have the video open while you are trying to remove the device, its not going to let you. Sometimes even if its not actually open it might still be hiding in the background, vista is like that. Use ctrl+alt+del and look for programs that might be using files on the device and end task. In all honesty though, I've used USB storage devices for at least 5 years now actively and I have never had a problem with files when I didn't safely remove. Its good computer hygiene to safely remove, but if its causing issues to yank it out and it should be fine.

The message means that Windows still has a file open on the device. Usually if you close any windows that are displaying the device and any programs that you were using on the device, that will close the file.

Close all programs and try it again.
If you have a file from the USB drive open then it cant unmount properly and youll get that error message
