set windows task scheduler to mount/unmount a hard drive?

AlecMoody · Mar 2012

Does anyone know if it is possible to set windows task scheduler to mount and unmount a external hard drive? I have this USB hard drive that does an automatic nightly backups of my work files but it makes a high pitched noise that I find irritating. Manually unplugging the drive isn't an option as I am sure I will forget to plug it back in most nights.

I am on win7

i think task scheduler is not capable of that but what about powershell?

this is all i found on it.
