Hello,
I'm sorry for so late response.

Yes, sometimes Vista's kernle locks the external drive and normal processes cannot unlock it. In the next version (4.2) we will concentrate on improvement of the stopping mechanism and will try to implement a way of forced independent from Windows stopping of drives.
