When I use the tray icon to remove the external USB hd, the hd is
correctly removed, but XP SP3 still sees the hd and I have no access to
the hd (I need to reboot the OS).
In device manager I see: "Windows cannot use this hardware device
because it has been prepared for "safe removal", but it has not been
removed from the computer. (Code 47)".

I tried to uninstall the driver, but it doesn't work.

How to fix the problem?

Thanks

Makes no sense. If you have elected to remove the HD why are you
surprised that your machine can not read it.

Try right clicking on the drive's icon and opt for "eject"
