random "cannot eject the volume <drive name>" error
i have an annoying problem, being rather a newbie to linux.
a message box ("Cannot eject the volume <drive name>") randomly pops up(drive name is always the same.). it might be helpful to know my drives configuration to solve this:
i'm running a dual boot system (windows/debian).
fdisk -l output:
under windows, i named hda1 "WINDOWS". so this seems to be the starting point of the problem. it makes no difference if i mounted the volume or not. this drive is an ATA drive, don't know if this is important to know.Code:Disk /dev/sda: 320.0 GB, 320072933376 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000e2648 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 35377 284165721 b W95 FAT32 /dev/sda2 * 35378 38761 27181980 83 Linux /dev/sda3 38762 38913 1220940 5 Extended /dev/sda5 38762 38913 1220908+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80060424192 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9733 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x6db030c2 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 9732 78172258+ 7 HPFS/NTFS Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x8d399bc0 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 60800 488375968+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
i google'd the phrase "cannot eject the volume" but it seems that no one is out there having exactly my problem. any suggestions?
thanks in advance.

You found amything by typing dmesg in terminal?

Post the contents of /etc/fstab file here.
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

okay, thanks for your replies.
dmesg output:
and this a hundrets or thousand times. but i don't know what it meansCode:[ 70.682318] hdb: status error: error=0x00 { } [ 70.682321] ide: failed opcode was: unknown [ 70.682325] hdb: drive not ready for command [ 70.682370] hdb: status error: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
if you need the whole output, pm me please.
/etc/fstab:
another possibly helpful information: the ATA harddisk is on the same ide port (don't know how to say in english) as the cdrom drive. but both are working fine. except for this annoying error message.Code:# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sda2 / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
