That still seems to work very well. It's slower than hardwiring the drive names but one would expect that. I've ended up with something very different from what I started out with and the line above is at the heart of it but I've added some Growl stuff around it to provide some feedback. Any more feedback would be welcome but thanks very much for your help. tell application "GrowlHelperApp" set the allNotificationsList to {"Eject Notification"} set the enabledNotificationsList to {"Eject Notification"} register as application � "Growl AppleScript Eject" all notifications allNotificationsList � default notifications enabledNotificationsList � icon of application "Script Editor" end tell tell application "Finder" to eject (every disk whose ejectable is true and local volume is true) tell application "GrowlHelperApp" notify with name � "Eject Notification" title � "Eject Notification" description � "All drives ejected." application name "Growl AppleScript Eject" end tell -- Cheers, Steve The reply-to email address is a spam trap.

One final point. As soon as I took my working AppleScript and ran it through Keyboard Maestro I got my dialog about the partitioned drive. Run it thought Applescript or Launchbar - no dialogue. I took the same script, wrapped it up into an Automator app and no dialog. Capricious or what? -- Cheers, Steve The reply-to email address is a spam trap.
