If you have balloon tips turned on in Windows XP then Windows shows a balloon tip when a device is removed ("device x can now be safely removed from the system"). If you remove one device and then try to remove another, the second device will not be removed until you close the balloon tip. If this irritates you, then you can try disabling balloon tips altogether. See this link for information on how to do this.

A disk eject can fail when there is still an application or process accessing the drive. If the application that is accessing the drive is running from the drive that you're trying to eject then USB Disk Ejector can detect this and close it (see the options menu to enable this). Eg if you launch Portable Firefox from a USB flash drive and then try and eject that flash drive then USB Disk Ejector will close Portable Firefox and then successfully eject the drive.
If the program accessing the disk is one installed on your computer (eg if Microsoft Word has opened a document on a flash drive that you are trying to eject) - then USB Disk Ejector wont be able to detect this and wont be able to close it. Doing this reliably requires administrator rights and a kernel driver - something beyond the scope of this program. You may be able to use Process Explorer or Unlocker to find and stop whatever program or process is accessing a drive.
