Not strictly true. Whenever I do this, the drive is almost always still being accessed by Windows, so I get a message to click up in the middle of the screen reporting that fact. So I go all the way up there to click OK just to start again.
Anyone with half a brain who actually USED the O/S for any length of time would put a Retry button on the message. But then that would be intuitive...

USB sticks might have that, USB hard disks definitely don't. In fact the fiddly thing in the taskbar is the only way to eject hard disks without using Device Manager.
