Hi.
Apparently the order was critical. This time I removed the Superdrive,
deleted the library file, shut down the mini, restarted, then attached the
Superdrive. Not only did it work flawlessly, it seems to have solved a
problem I have been going back and forth with Apple about since
November--whenever I had an empty drie and would try to access it via Finder
I would get busy, busy, forever. Attached a USB HD, erased it, then
accessed it fine via Finder.
So done for tonight, tomorrow I try to install the tools in my VM Window.
Thanks for all the great help here from everyone!

Are you having problems with disk in general? Also, have you tried
other blank disks? This seems more than a little odd.
Take Care
