USB Dismount not turning off my USB Drive?

Dec 8th, 2008

I'm making an app that needs to safely remove USB Drives and SD cards.

When i execute my code,the drive gets forced not to be ready.

I have an old 128MB usb drive and when i start transferring data to it and execute my code,a msg box pops up saying: USB Cannot copy to "FileName" Device not ready.

And also,when i execute the code the drive stays visible in the pc and can be accessed again without having to replug.

Is that normal?
Am i doing some thing wrong?
Am i missing something?
Heres my code:
