Unmount Disk Drive?

Unread post by HMPoweredMan »

In the ao4866 core menu I am unable to unmount a boot disk.
Changing the first bootable drive to hard drive only doesn't seem to have any effect.

Because of this I am stuck having to boot into a dos installation every reboot.
Am I missing something?
I suppose my only recourse is to delete my boot disk from the drive.

Open the Select Disk Dialog and press backspace to unmount image.

That, or press and hold whatever you configured as your menu 'OK' button with the disk selected, then press whatever you configured as your menu 'Back' button while still holding OK. That also unmounts.

Thanks guys. I thought I tried that but I guess I tried backspace *before* going into the menu thinking it would work. Not exactly intuitive.

Yeah, I have asked that it got added in a description in the menu somewhere... its not even in the readme I think. Maybe I should ask to have it added there at least.

For me neither backspace nor holding return/enter (I guess this is ok) works. Can this be somehow related to a German keyboard layout?

You have to be in the select screen of the disk. Not in the main menu.
