I have the same thing happen, when I boot 5.0 and the finder is coming up and it checks what is in my 5.25 and I eject the 3.5 disk, it is a genuine apple, it shows that the system.disk is still in the drive. I can then eject the disk and then it dims the system.disk and puts the new disk on the desktop. My 5.25 is on a card in slot 6. I can always get this problem. If I don't wait for the disks to appear on the desktop I can take out the 3.5 and it still appears as the system.disk is still in the drive. I don't know if the computer dosen't check if the disk was ejected while it is polling a different drive. Pat Trepanier pterpan3@ub.d.umn.edu
