When the "list disks" command is used you get a list of your hardrive
name along with any disks that you have mounted including any servers
that you are connected to through a network.

Is there a way via AS to dismount or disconnect from all of these
except for your hardrive?

Usually, your startup disk has ID -1 (ask the Finder about IDs).

Alternatively, you could use the various properties of disks in the Finder to determine which ones you want, in particular "local volume", "ejectable", and "startup". For example:

tell application "Finder"
eject every disk whose startup is false
-- eject everything but the startup disk

eject every disk whose local volume is false
-- "eject" every non-local disk, i.e., all server volumes.
end

These two are quite different, especially if you have multiple hard drives or partitions.
