Bob,

Someone (whom? My thanks to the anonymous hero) contributed this awhile ago...


Open terminal, type this:

diskutil list

You will get a list of disks, where an entry might look like this:

/dev/disk1
   #:                   type name               size      identifier
   0: Apple_partition_scheme                    *74.5 GB  disk1
   1:    Apple_partition_map                    31.5 KB   disk1s1
   2:         Apple_Driver43                    28.0 KB   disk1s2
   3:         Apple_Driver43                    28.0 KB   disk1s3
   4:       Apple_Driver_ATA                    28.0 KB   disk1s4
   5:       Apple_Driver_ATA                    28.0 KB   disk1s5
   6:         Apple_FWDriver                    256.0 KB  disk1s6
   7:     Apple_Driver_IOKit                    256.0 KB  disk1s7
   8:          Apple_Patches                    256.0 KB  disk1s8
   9:              Apple_HFS Ansel              74.4 GB   disk1s10

Here, the disk is "Ansel" (guess what it contains ;) and it is disk "/ dev/disk1" (top line)

You can unmount this specific disk with the following AS, on a line by itself, nothing else needed:

do shell script "diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk1"

and mount it with:

do shell script "diskutil mountDisk /dev/disk4"


hth,


mike

P.S. Better solutions will certainly be offered by the great people in this forum
