John, I only found it a couple of days ago. So far, my observations are: It is best to use the desktop icon labelled Removable Media to mount the drives. Closing the window allows the eject to work. It is not impossible to upset it, but the couple of times I managed it I know it was my mistake that caused it. On those occasions the eject button on the drive didn't work, so I re-opened the window and used the drive eject option. You have to be smart, though, as it opens the drawer and shuts it very quickly! A quick snatch of the disk closed it empty, and all functioned normally after. It's too early to say there are no problems, but everything seems OK. Anne
