tell application "System Events"
ejectable of disk "the_disk:"
end tell

The internal HD will return false
The jumpdrive one will returtn true

Trying this, all ejectable properties came back as false:

tell application "System Events"

set diskList to every disk <== this list has two entries for HD1, HD2 and HD4, the 3 partitions of the jump drive. Nothing in

the list differentiates the HD from the jump drive

set maxDisks to count of diskList

repeat with d from 1 to maxDisks

set nm to name of item d of diskList as text

set dn to displayed name of item d of diskList as text

set ej to ejectable of item d of diskList as text

display dialog (d as text) & return & nm & return & dn & return & ej

end repeat

end tell

This was on a PowerPC running 10.4.11.

Disk "HD1" points to the HD, not to the jump drive. That's my point ... they both have the same name. I need to know how to be able to refer to them individually.
