Force eject disk

[djstarrock]

Hi, I'm using CrossOver to install a game but it has 2 disk to install but I can't eject it because OS X say its in use how would I eject it.

Are there any disk images mounted? This one could be a bugger.

Well the image of the disk is there but that about that. It is sim city 4 if that matters.

Open in terminal

type in hdiutil eject in the window

then drag the stubborn disk from the finder to complete the path name, then press enter.

Nope doesn't work it says

hdiutil: couldn't unmount "disk1" - error 49153

restart, normally does the trick. i think if you hold down a key at the chime it ejects the disk (might b the letter e for eject).

Use Toast to make a disk image of both install disks, then mount both images, and try to install the game again.
