I have had my MacbookAir for over a year and also purchased a Seagate FreeAgent 350GB external usb drive. I never had any problem ejecting it. It would eject in a few seconds once i make sure no application is using it. The other day, while it was mounted and running, I accidentally kicked the usb cable and it gave me a message that the drive was not ejected properly. Since that day, every time I try to eject it, it does not, and I have to wait 2 to 3 minutes before I get the message on the screen telling me that the finder is using it. I have to shutdown every time I need to eject the drive. When I mount the drive on another computer running windows, it ejects with no problem.
I have a lot of files backed up on that drive. Can someone please give me a hint. Is there a disk utility that could repair whatever damage was done to it without loosing my files/
Thank you
