My questions are what is the correct way to shut this USB disk down so I

correctly.

Any help or pointers will be appreciated. I need a back up before I try
installing Virtualbox.

With my two USB hard drives, I do exactly the same as with the thumb

remove when done.

Maybe the partitioning did something?

Thanks I was wondering about that. I think I'll reinstall it, clear it off and
change the mount points to /media/disk like the thumb drives. the mount
