Unmountable Disks
Authored by: joesim on Jul 21, '02 06:29:49PM

I have had this issue a few times, even when trying to erase HDs. I think it is more a limitation of the Automount/Unmount process of Mac OS X than a failing of "Disk Utility".

Try ejecting the CD, then re-inserting it. After insertion DO NOT open it or click on any of the icons. Go directly to "Disk Utility" and try erasing it. The problem is usually that the "Finder" thinks the disk is in use, and therefore won't let it unmount. You may want to try unmounting all but the first session burned to that CD in the "Finder", then seeing if "Disk Utility" will erase it.

Good luck, happy burning...

And thanks to the CUBE owner for testing this out since I haven't had time to yet...

G'Day..
