So am I. But, when I wrote my post yesterday, I had one of my readers plugged in. And I actually had the Kobo app running plus something else open looking at something on the driver. I clicked the eject button in the Kobo app and when a message was displayed I unplugged the device. Then I read the message which was a "couldn't eject" message. When I plugged the device in, Windows gave the same message you are seeing. I let it fix things and everything is OK.

@SteveEisenberg: Most times you are right. But, the drive can have problems and a file on it could be corrupted. If a file is corrupted, strange things can happen. Getting Windows to check the drive is the best thing to do.
