In order to evaluate Office 2004 for my lab, I installed it on a spare partition
on an external hard drive. Now I can't unmount that partition under any
circumstances (that I've discovered). I'm running OS 10.3.4 on a G3 iMacDV.
When I quite Word and then try to unmount the partition it resides on, I get
a message that files on the drive are in use and I should quit applications. I
get the same message if I quit *all* applications, including force quitting
and relaunching the Finder. I've checked with Activity Monitor and ended
any process with Microsoft in the name (I think it was just the Auto Updater
demon). I get the same message after logging out and logging back in and
after restarting the computer (but before actually doing anything; and I don't
have any apps on auto start); however, there are no problems unmounting
the drive as part of the shutdown half of the restart.
I've got a few other things to try, but I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
