Did you try that with a partition, Matthew? Partitions are non-ejectable
disks, so you get an error that 'the file "disk_name is open'. I also don't
see any 'unmount' counterpart to the 'mount volume' Standard Addition. You
also can't set visible of a disk to false. So I don't see any way to do it.
