Note: If you disconnect the repeater from the computer and reconnect
it, the name of the firmware file as well as its size and date/time
will revert to firmware.bin, etc. This is to be expected.
You should now close the terminal window. Use one of the supported
Windows methods to "eject" the GPS repeater’s drive letter. This can be
done by clicking on the "Safely remove hardware" icon in the tray and then
clicking on the drive letter associated with the GPS repeater’s device. The
remove hardware menu will normally also show the volume label (CRP
DISABLD). You may also perform an eject function by double-clicking
on the Computer (or My Computer in some versions of Windows) icon,
normally near the top left of the Windows desktop. Then right-click on
the drive letter of the GPS repeater and select Eject from the drop-down
menu.
Note: If the computer responds with some form of "Drive in use" error
message, it is possible that you did not close the command line
window you used to perform the firmware update or other activity
on the computer (such as an anti-virus program) may be using the
drive. In cases where Windows refuses to "let go" of the drive and
allow you to eject it, you may just wait several minutes for any I/O
operations to complete and then just unplug the USB cable from
the GPS repeater.
