[Suduntoo]

Hey all, I am running ubuntu 11.04 on a external hd it works fine I just can't eject the rEFIt disk I am wondering if this is becaus I have to have it in the entire time I am using it if this is true then is there anyway of avoiding this by installing it on the external hd itself is this possible? Thank you for your help

I'm pretty certain the rEFIT CD is only needed to boot. I haven't used it to boot from an external drive.. but you can open the Terminal and try either of these commands. The CD should just pop-out.

sudo eject

sudo eject /dev/cdrom

Yeah i already tried that and I also tried to force eject but it doesn't work it makes no sense. Even with the force eject it should have ended any program that was using it and ejected it right?

What is the output of:

sudo eject -f /dev/cdrom

Does it say that the device is busy?

You can also try:

sudo umount -l /dev/cdrom
sudo eject /dev/cdrom
