Rob,
I tried your suggestion but when I compile the script, it changes the disk
name to the name of the system disk and when run, opens the system disk
without re-mounting the disk I want to see.

Further testing has revealed that you might be able to do this

The script will need to be compiled while the disk is mounted or the
