Ejecting drives is a problem because there's almost always a notification that they weren't properly ejected - although they were, even when I pull the cable out after I shut down my Macbook computer.
It sounds like your hard drive might still be in use when you're trying to eject it. When you eject it, does the icon disappear from your desktop or just from the menu? Also, are you currently syncing any files that are stored on the hard drive that? That could be preventing it from ejecting properly.
