Win7 laptop is in recovery mode where only DOS prompt is available for issuing commands. Is there a cmd.exe command that does the same as this to eject a thumb drive? enter image description here

    Nitpicking. Replace "DOS prompt" with "cmd.exe, or any other shell on a black background, but not DOS".

Not from recovery mode, but as long as there are no active I/O processes, you should be fine to just pull it.

unless you're livebooting, then NEVER PULL IT unless told to by the live OS.

    There should be a way to do this in the Recovery Console as well. @zundarz: See my answer in the linked thread (obviously couldn't post here due to the thread closure, which like Jared I tried asking about in chat but the mods were apparently too busy or asleep to reply).
