Same issue. External USB hard-disk fails to eject, but USB stick is fine.

This could be a clue - I opened the "properties" dialogs for both of the above devices, and looked at the "Drive" tab. The external hard-disk is shown as "Removable: No", whereas the USB stick shows "Removable: Yes (ejectable)"

Any ideas on how to set the disk as "ejectable"? I'll have a dig around this arvo.
