    on my MBP running 10.4.10, my external drive (connected via FW400) will show up even if "hard disks" is unchecked. to prevent external drives from showing up, i'd have to uncheck "connected servers".

    You would think that wouldn't you?

    To get external drives to bugger off you need to uncheck 'cds dvds and ipods'.
