I remember that is System Restore is enabled on said drive... you get that message.

I'm running windows xp pro, and have a Western Digital 250GB External Hard drive.
My problem is that when I want to shut down, I usually get a message saying "The device "generic volume" cannot be stopped now. Try again at a later time" or something to that extent. Is there something I can do to fix this? I speculate something may fix it below, but I'm not sure. I'd like to leave it as recognized as a Hard Drive Disk, however, I would like to stop the hard drive on demand so I can shut it off more often.
When I first bought my HD, I had to format it in a way so that my laptop would recognize it. Now under My Computer, it shows the external HD as a Hard Drive Disk, and not removeable storage, which I think can help out my problem.
Thank you in advance for the help.
