I think that K3B should automagically unmount it, but I've seen it not do so. So, if erasing it fails, manually unmount it then try again. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- The Lord detests the way of the wicked but he loves those who pursue righteousness. ----------------------------- Proverbs 15:9 (niv) ----------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
