Hi,
        You might try kwikdisk. It's in 'start', 'configuration', 'hardware'. This 
should show both of your drives and you should be able to umount them from 
there. Remember, they have to be unmounted before the tray will open. At 
least that's the way I do it till the automount is fixed.

Regards,
Bill W.
