| Icon on desktop for nonexistent drive I have an external drive I use for backups. There were two icons for the drive on my desktop with the same name. I used Disk Utility to erase, zero, and rename the drive. Then cloned my startup disk to it. There are now two icons for the drive on the desktop: one with the old name and one with the new. Opening the old-name shows there is nothing on "it." Opening the new-name shows the files cloned from startup disk. I have tried to get rid of the drive alias in /Volumes via terminal using "sudo rmdir drivename", but was told that it was "busy." (Note: I not a skilled user of unix commands--it was suggested to me to try this by someone else.) Is this a symptom of something more serious? How can I get rid of the bogus drive icon?  |

| Did you at one time partition that drive? It sure sounds like the drive is in two partitions.
