Help! How do I stop repeated "Disk Not Ejected Properly" alerts?

[AL2TEACH]

by mistake, I ejected the TMB external drive in the sidebar. from the back of the drive, I unplugged and re...the usb cable and restarted. all is good except this @@#$% alert that comes up every few seconds. I told the puter, I was sorry but it's still pissed. how to stop the alert before I crawl into a fetal position and weep. thanks

1. Drag the drive icon into the trash to dismount it.
2. Disconnect the drive.
3. RE connect the drive.

Does this help?

If not above, open Disk Utility and do a First Aid on the drive and volume(s).

Also, try a different port: port plugging in might have some wiggle to it, so might cut in/out if cable wiggles a bit. Or USB connector in the drive might not quite be as snug as it should be.

You might have a bad USB cable. Inexpensive external disk drives are notorious for having fragile cables. After trying the steps in posts 2 and 3 above, try using a known good USB cable to see if this helps.

first time I did step 2 and 3, the message kept coming back.
second time, did 2 and 3 and turned everything off and when I came back in, turned everything on and all is good, thanks
