Hi everybody, I just sent a thank you message that everything went well. I renamed my drive Zoe‘s movie drive. I went to the volume on my desktop and clicked VO shift M. I used the arrow keys and went down to eject. A window popped up with the following message that is now severely confusing me. Can anybody tell Tell me what this means and what I should do? Finder alert image Zoe‘s movie drive is a volume A disk that has two volumes volumes do you want to eject Zoe‘s movie drive only or both volume volumes? I have a cancel button, eject all button and an eject button. Why is it telling me I have two volumes is it because of that GE utility folder on the desktop? Anyhow what do I do? Regards Zoe
