I am receving the same error as a previous post: "The volume that was removed had open files on it. Next time Please check first to see if the volume can be removed". I am running Windows 98 SE only, no other OS's. It just started all of a sudden, could it be a sign that my hard drive is ready to crash or is something else happening?

Here is a discussion thread on this same error:

(please remove any spaces)

One of the points brought up involved new drivers for a Promise disk drive controller. The linkto that is in the thread.

Other then that, Gateway has this error message on their site, with a downloadable fix (basically, a new driver for the hard disk). The Gateway link is here:

Lastly, another discussion on this error has this to say:
"Problem is caused by the disk controller which needs to be either upgraded or replaced. Alternatively a bios upgrade could take care of the problem."
The link for this is here:

hope this helps
