First, thank you to all who responded to my plea for help.
Now, for what happened... I was a little vague in my explanation of my problem:
I have a single drive (512KE -- a dinosaur) machine and wanted to look at the
contents of some other disks.  I pressed CMD-E and _immediately_ was prompted
for my system disk again.  I reinserted it and was back to square one.
I then tried "Eject" under the File menu with the same results.  I also had 
tried dragging it to the Trash -- again, same preoblem.

Finally out of desparation I decided to rebuild the desktop.  It WORKED!
I guess it was the WDEF virus about which I just recently found out.
I have now downloaded Gate Keeper and will be using it consistently.

Thanks again,
