Do you mean from a mounted Windows share? Either drag it onto the trash icon in the dock (the trash can will change to an eject icon as you start to drag), control-click/right-click and select "Eject", highlight it and hit Apple-E or highlight it and select "File -> Eject".

Does't work  , i drag it to the eject sign, it asks for my password then it says it cannot be ejected because it is in use.

Nope, that doesn't work , i think it has to be done through the terminal or something.

Just reboot. If it is still there after a reboot then check login items for your user account or one of the StartupItems folders. If that's not it then disable non-apple pref panes. (/Library/PreferencePanes)

BTW, the terminal command is umount (type "man umount" for help) but it still can't unmount items that are "in use"

You're not running an app from that volume as one of your startup items are you? Or maybe you have something else that's opening a file on that volume?

I fixed it by:
1. going to the utilities folder
2. opening NetInfo Manager
3. enabled root user
4. logged into the terminal using root
5. then did a force umount 'umount -f CIFS'
that worked well
Thanks for all your help

FYI, you can issue the command 'sudo' to issue terminal commands from your user account without having to activate the root user.
The command would have looked like:
sudo umount -f CIFS
then would have asked for your password (yours, not root's).
But, I suspect your mounted volume will return when you reboot. Something is forcing that volume to mount. Better find out what it is.
