Well, I tried thet already. Only when I dunk them in the bin and try to 
empty it, MacOS says that the files in the bin are in use...of course 
they are...they are in use because the disk is mounted.

Any other solutions? Help?

By the way, Norton also lets you set the "In use" bit but with that I 
can't change the fact that the system considers the files in use...it 
doesn't hold.
