Hi Eric,
Your a legend!!!! This seen to have fixed the problem. The only thing is do I have to leave the "config file" on the desktop?

Re: Disk not ejected properlyin response to iPhabio | This solved my question
Hi All
I am not sure if the fix I am about to relay will work for everyone here BUT it has certainly worked for me!
I have a new MBPr which I migrated from my old MBPr and immeadiatly started to get the problems described in this forum.
I have investigaed most of the solutions suggested here and elsewhere without any success, I did install Jettison but while this masked the problem it actually stopped most of my backups working!
So I called Apple support and pushed it very hard until I had a Teir 2 person on the line and she was incredibly helpful, supportive and instisted she woudl ge the problem fixed and she delivered.
She pinned the problem down to the migration from the older machine/prefs corruption.
I will try and record here exactly what we did.
Instructions
1. Pull out your ethernet cable and disable WiFi and any other network connectivity you have.
2. Open Finder, go to your computer and then select you Macintosh HD (or whatever you have renamed it).
3. Go to Macintosh HD - Library - Preferences
4. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the list and you ewill see a folder called SystemConfiguration
5. Pull this folder onto the desktop.
6. Go to System Preferences - Sharing and change the name of your computer, even just a litlle bit.
7. Reboot
8. Re-enable Wifi and Ethernet
9. If you have installed Jettison, remove it and remove it from your start up items.
You shoudl be good to go.
My machine was constantly ejecting my USB drive, even if left for onnly 10-15 minutes, since doing this I have not had one single ejection and I am into 48 plus hours of run time.
If you like what Jettison does but don't want to eject the disks everytime your computer sleeps and it will!, then try UnDock from the Mac App store.
Very similar functionality BUT it is a manual process.
In my case if I am going to be going out I will simply use the key combo I hae seletced Ctrl-Alt-Command plus U and all my external devices undock.
I really hope this helps one or more you you guys.
Robin
