I wish to mount a partition of a hard drive within an application,
open a file, read the file, close the file, and unmount the partition.
This I can cope with.    

However when I do this under multifinder, and bring up a dialog or
under certain under cases which I have not determined, the Finder sneaks
in there on me and mounts the disk on the desktop.  Then when I unmount
the partition, the finder displays the message 'Please insert the disk...'

Any suggestions how I can do this without the Finder noticing?
